INTRODUCTION.
Tue larger part of the Ostracoda, described in the following Monograph, occur in the
Glacial and Post-glacial beds of Scotland, and their geological position is a matter of
very considerable importance. A mere catalogue of species under the vague general
title of “ Post-tertiary” would have little or no geological value. The numerous
deposits, which such a term as “ Post-tertiary ” includes, are widely separated from each
other, both in age and in the climatic conditions they represent. A vast series of clays,
sands, and gravels were deposited during the epoch intervening between the commence-
ment and cessation of more vigorous conditions of climate than are now prevalent in
Great Britain ; while that cessation itself was certainly gradual and may possibly prove
to have been accompanied by its own recurring periods of increased heat and returning
cold. It would be foreign to the purpose of this Monograph to discuss any theoretical
explanations of the phenomena of the Glacial Epoch ; but we shall endeavour to indicate
the precise characters of the various beds containing the species of Ostracoda we
describe. Whatever position in the great sequence of deposits any bed we have
examined may ultimately be pronounced to occupy, we trust that its identification with
our description may be sufficiently easy to permit the facts we have ascertained
concerning its composition and fauna to be of service to future students.
]
2 POST-TERTIARY ENTOMOSTRACA.
This task is not without its difficulty, smce many different writers upon the Glacial
Epoch have employed the same terms, without meaning the same things. Three terms
we shall at once discard. The term Northern Drift is far too loose to afford any help in
the identification of the position of a bed; while one of the peculiar characteristics of
the clay of the Clyde district, in which the fauna of the epoch is most perfectly preserved,
is that it is in no sense whatever a drift, but one of the most gradually and quietly
formed of deposits. The term Brick Clay is equally objectionable, since clay capable
of making bricks may belong to any period, and the brick clay of one part of the
country may be geologically distinct from that of another. The use of the term 7Z%// is
also i danger of misleading through its employment by the older Scotch geologists in a
very vague sense; in fact, whenever a bed of coarse silt, or clay, or sandy loam was
found contaming boulders it was called Z1/.
While retaining the term “ Boulder Clay,” we cannot employ it without considerable
explanation. If we were to content ourselves with noting that certain species of
Ostracoda occur zz the “ Boulder Clay,” or beneath the “ Boulder Clay,” without speci-
fying the precise character of the deposit to which we refer, it would lead to great
confusion. Under the general term “ Boulder Clay” a very miscellaneous collection of
deposits, attributable to different causes and belonging to various periods of the great
Glacial Epoch, has been vaguely included. Any clay containing boulders is not
necessarily identical with the oldest Boulder Clay of Scotland. A fossiliferous Arctic
clay may contain boulders (as boulders may be found scattered through the Paisley Shell-
beds), and yet cannot be described as Boulder Clay without an extreme misuse of terms.
Boulders have been in all probability dropped into the Shell Clay from ice floating over
the Firth of Clyde, precisely as they are dropped from the ice floating at the present day
in the St. Lawrence, and this Shell Clay, into which the boulders fell, may have been
resting upon an old “ Boulder Clay” and have been formed long subsequently to its
deposition and by entirely different agencies. A “ Boulder Clay” may have been
carried from the land into the sea by a glacier breaking off into an iceberg, and thus
have covered littoral Sheil Clays, and have become mixed with fragments of shells,
although not itself of marine origin.
Without theorizing, therefore, upon the origin of the various beds roughly meluded
under the general terms “‘ Northern Drift,” “Brick Clay,” “Till,” “ Boulder Clay,” it is
necessary to note their characteristics in order that the physical geologist may understand
the exact positions in which the Ostracoda we catalogue occur.’
1 These deposits have been treated of to some extent in the series of Memoirs on the Post-tertiary
fossiliferous beds of Scotland, by Messrs. Crosskey and Robertson, in the ‘Transactions of the Geological.
Society of Glasgow,’ vol. ii, p. 267; vol. iii, pp. 113, 321; and vol. iv, pp. 40, 128. See also Mr. Cross-
key’s paper on the Boulder Clay, ibid., vol. iii, p. 149.
BOULDER-CLAYS. ; 3
§ I. VARIETIES OF BOULDER-CLAY.
I.—One bed is so distinct in character and so easily recognised that one of the
writers of these pages proposed, some years ago, that to it the term “ Boulder Clay”
should be entirely restricted,’ and this course will be followed in the present Monograph.
This Boulder Clay contains a large number of striated and polished stones which
have been worn down, and not broken, by the process through which they have passed.
These polished and striated surfaces are so freshly preserved that the stones could not
have been rolled on a beach subsequently to their production. Any trituration would
at once destroy the fineness of the glaciated surfaces.
The included stones are chiefly traceable to the heights nearest the locality in which
the special bed under examination is found, although a distinct proportion have been
derived from the more distant mountains. In some cases the included boulders have
travelled from distances in the direction along which a glacier would naturally have
moved, according to the general conformation of the country.
The colour, as well as the general character of the enclosed stones, is determined by
the mineral character of the district in which it is found. 5
There is no distinct stratification, although there are occasional seams of sand and
- clay. The Boulder Clay varies in tenacity; but, as a rule, is toughly compact and hard
to be worked even with a pick-axe.
Its thickness is excessively variable, extending from a mere surface-covering of the
rock to a depth of one or two hundred feet.
The highest pomt at which the stratified clay containing glacial shells has yet
been found in Scotland is at Chappel Hall, near Airdrie, 526 feet above the sea; but an
unstratified and unfossiliferous Boulder Clay, of the character just described, may be
raced to very considerable heights. It has been seen by Mr. J. Geikie on the tops of
the Ochils, 1500 feet; by Mr. Croll on the Pentland Hills, 1617 feet; by Mr. Milne
Home, near Schehallion, 2000 feet above the sea; and it may be found in almost every
nook and corner of the Highlands. At lower levels it is very largely developed, both m
the plains themselves and on the flanks of the hills bordering wide valleys.
While this Boulder Clay reaches to a height of at least 1500 feet beyond that at
which any arctic shell-clay has yet been discovered, it at the same time underlies
the shell-bed throughout the whole of the west of Scotland, as well as in some of the
Eastern districts. Many instances of this fact will be noted in the detailed descriptions
1 See a paper “On the Tellina calcarea Bed at Chappel Hall, near Airdrie,” by Henry W. Crosskey,
in the ‘ Quarterly Journal Geolog. Soc.,’ 1865, vol. xxi, p. 219.
4. POST-TERTIARY ENTOMOSTRACA.
of the beds we have examined. Shell-beds have also been found, under circumstances
needing special local examination, intercalated between masses of Boulder Clay of the
same character.
The only cases in which a Boulder Clay physically analogous to that of which we are
treating contains fossils are those which will presently be described as a second type of
Boulder Clay, which forms cliffs near the shore and never extends beyond a few miles inland.
Whatever explanation of its origin may be given, so far as present investigations
extend, there seems to be ample evidence for the existence of a Boulder Clay: (1) Older
than the stratified clay containing Arctic shells ; (2) extending to far greater heights than
either any fossiliferous Boulder Clay or any stratified clay ; (3) unsubjected to any action
of the tidal wave upon the shore ; (4) and connected with the more remote and extreme
Arctic conditions of the Glacial Epoch.
The position of the beds from which we have obtained Ostracoda in relation to this
Boulder Clay will at any rate furnish a guide available for the practical use of the
advocates of any theory regarding their succession, which may be in debate.
II. There are fossiliferous Boulder Clays which have several striking peculiarities.
1. They occur (so far as we yet know) either close to the coast or within a distance of
four or five miles, and generally form low clifls immediately on the shore. They may be
seen on the north-east coast of Scotland, along the north-east coast of Ireland, on the
north-east coast of England, on the Lancashire coast, and along the banks of the Mersey.
2. The shells they contain are very seldom perfect, except in the case of a univalve,
like Zurritella communis; and, even when perfect, they are not found in their natural
living position. These features form a remarkable contrast to the state of the fossils in
the great shelly beds resting upon the Boulder Clay in the Clyde districts. In those
beds numerous specimens of such Molluscs as Sazicava (Panopea) Norveyica, and
Mya Uddevallensis are found in their natural upright position, with fragments of the
syphon preserved; while Pecten Islandicus, Astarte sulcata, and almost every other
bivalve, together with the Ostracoda, occur with united valves; and in many cases, when
they are taken freshly from the clay, the connecting ligament may be detected, although
it quickly decays on exposure to the air.
3. The fauna is sometimes less Arctic in character than that yielded by the stratified
glacial clay immediately resting upon the lowest unstratified Boulder Clay. The
Caithness Boulder Clay, which reaches a thickness of more than 100 feet, contains
(writes Mr. Jamieson) “‘remains of sea shells all through it, often from top to bottom,
and these shells are broken, rubbed, and scratched, evidently by the same agency that
marked the rocks and boulders,” while “the group is the most modern, except that of
FOSSILIFEROUS BOULDER-CLAYS. 5
Fort William,” and “the proportion of Arctic species is less than at any of the other
localities.”
Mr. Jamieson gives the following explanation of the probable origin of the Caithness
fossiliferous Boulder Clay :—“ A set of marine beds containing Arctic shells were probably
deposited over the low part of Caithness; and much drifting ice seems to have passed
over the district from the north-west, which crushed and destroyed these marine beds,
broke the shells, and mixed them up with other superficial dédris into that mass of
rough pebbly mud which now overspreads the surface. These marine beds were
probably of different ages; the older containing Arctic species, the later containing
chiefly Boreal and southern forms. This would account for that mixture of species ©
which we observe in the Caithness list.’”*
4. The fauna, also in some of the fossiliferous Boulder Clays, is somewhat mixed.
Foraminifera, ¢.g., are found in the Caithness Boulder Clays, which have been
derived from the wearing down of the oolite, lias, and chalk blocks they contain. In the
same clays there is also a mixture of southern, British, northern, Arctic, and North-east
American species of Mollusca.”
While this Boulder Clay possesses the general appearance of the Boulder Clay first
described, containing the usual striated and polished stones and being compact and
unworkable, these characteristics may fairly be described as, in many instances, not quite
so intense in their development, although often their only distinguishing mark is the
presence of shell fragments.
Its peculiar position in cliffs near the shore, the occurrence of fossils, and its general
composition, seem to sustain the theory that in some cases it marks the point where the
débris of great glaciers was pressed to the bottom of the sea at their final point of
descent ; and it may be of the same age as the shell-beds, which, in other localities, rest in
hollows of the unfossiliferous Boulder Clay ; while in other cases it may be an accumula-
‘tion dropped from icebergs, and in others a wash from an older bed during the final
re-elevation of the land.
Withont reference, however, to the method of its formation, as a matter of fact there
exists a fossiliferous Boulder Clay (1) not xecessarily of the same age as the unfossiliferous
Boulder Clay ; (2) with an included fauna more or less Arctic, although mixed and
fragmentary ; (8) chiefly developed in the neighbourhood of the shore, in the form of sea
cliffs ; (4) physically, not always distinguishable from that which underlies the Shell Clay
of the Clyde district, although sometimes marked by a diminution in the intensity of its
ice-marks.

6 POST-TERTIARY ENTOMOSTRACA.
1. Wick Harsour.
We examined the fossiliferous Boulder Clay at Wick Harbour and Burn of Haster,
for Ostracoda. It is a hard compact mass with striated and polished boulders, similar in
composition to that Boulder Clay in the west of Scotland, in which we have failed as yet
to detect fossils. We are unable to make any physical distinction between the two
Boulder Clays now mentioned.
The Caithness Boulder Clay varies in depth and is generally overlain by shingly gravel,
succeeded by surface soil. The fossils are thinly interspersed from top to bottom through
the section, and are very much worn and fragmentary. They appear very equally distri-
-buted, as if the whole mass had been mixed up and kneaded together, and can be obtained,
although sparingly, on the face of weather-beaten sections. On some strong valves of
Cyprina Islandica glacial strize may be observed.
Mr. Jamieson gives the following section at Wick Harbour :
1. Reddish-brown clay, with boulders ;
2. Dark pebbly silt, with broken shells ;
3. Old Red Sandstone ;
and adds the following description : “In the banks beside the harbour (at Pulteney
Town) the drift is fifty or sixty feet deep. The lowermost two thirds of it are a sandy
mud or silt of a very dark grey colour, solid and firm, as if much compressed, and
although there are a good many small pebbles dispersed through it, yet they do not form
a large proportion of the mass, and there is an absence of big stones. Fragments of
shells are in many places not uncommon, and are scattered through it in an irregular
manner, not occurring in horizontal lines or seams. There is, in short, no distinct
stratification, although in some places there is an approach to it, owing to patches of a
more sandy nature occurring ; it is an unstratified pebbly silt, the greater part of the
mass consisting of fine sand. The upper part of the bank, on the other hand, is of a
browner, more ferruginous colour, much coarser in quality, with more muddy sediment,
and few or no shells; it is also full of stones and large ice-worn boulders of sandstone,
quartzose mica-schist, and granite, on which the glacial scoring is well marked ; one of
these granite blocks is twelve feet in length. I cannot say that there is any clear line of
separation between this coarse upper stuff and the dark siltier matter beneath; for
although in some places the distinction is pretty well marked, in others they seem to
graduate into each other. When the rock rises in the cliff, the dark silty portion thins
out, and the coarse brown mud full of boulders rests immediately upon the ice-worn
surface of the Caithness flags.’
We washed 12 lbs. of the dry shell-bearing clay, and found that it lost 4 Ibs. .
through a sieve of ninety-six threads to the inch, leaving 8 lbs. residue, of which 2 lbs.
1 «Quarterly Journal of Geol. Soc.,’ 1866, vol. xxii, p. 265.
FOSSILIFEROUS BOULDER-CLAYS. 7
was retained ina sieve of one eighth of an inch mesh, and consisted of small stones more
or less worn and striated. The remaining 6 lbs. was chiefly sand.
The following Ostracoda were found:
Cythere viridis, Miller.
— mirabilis, Brady.
— Dunelmensis (Norman).
— tuberculata (G. O. Sars).
— tenera, Brady.
— lutea, Miiller.
Cytheridea punctillata, Brady.
— papillesa, Bosquet.
Loxoconcha impressa (Baird).
Cytherura undata, G. O. Sars.
Cytheropteron latissimum (Norman).
2. Burn or Haster.
Along the banks of the Burn of Haster, near Wick, Mollusca are more abundant than
at Wick Harbour, although the Boulder Clay is very coarse and contains many stones of
large size.
The following Ostracoda were found :
Cythere villosa (G. O. Sars).
— concinna, Jones.
— Finmarchica (G. O. Sars).
Cytheridea punctillata, Brady.
Aestoleberis depressa, G. O. Sars.
Cytherura undata, G. O. Sars.
Cytherideis subspiralis, nov. sp.
III. A third clay, which has been improperly, we believe, termed Boulder Clay, is
precisely of the same age, although not of the same physical character, as the stratified
shell-bearing clays of the Clyde and other districts. An example may be seen near Lag
Arran, overlying the older Boulder Clay from which it is very distinctly separated ; it is
hard and compact, but not so hard and compact as the clay on which it rests, while the
stones it contains are generally smaller, much more worn, and, except in a few
8 POST-TERTIARY ENTOMOSTRACA.
exceptional cases, far less distinctly striated. The Arctic shells found scattered through
it, although chiefly in single valves and broken, are decidedly better preserved than iv
the fossiliferous Boulder Clay just described. A Zeda, indeed, has been found with both
valves united, and the bed contains species as characteristic of the ordinary Glacial Clays
as Pecten Islandicus, Astarte boreals, Leda pernula, Cyprina Islandica, together with
Foraminifera and Ostracoda. Patches of sand and gravel are common. This clay is
evidently the wash of an old Boulder Clay upon a somewhat exposed coast. ‘The angular
blocks have been jumbled together, their striations half obliterated, and their polish
somewhat worn off, while the clay has been washed and rewashed around them, and a
rude and rough habitat formed for the scanty development of a marine fauna. In an
account of these beds given by Dr. Bryce and one of the authors of this paper,’ it is
pointed out that the upper part of the shell-bed is a little sandy, while in the lower part
the character more closely approximates to the underlying Boulder Clay.’
The following Ostracoda were found in the shell-bearing clay, of the character now
described, on the banks of the Cloinid Burn, near Lag Arran. A complete section of
the bank will be given as we proceed to notice the next division of so-called Boulder
Clays:

IV. A series of deposits composed of sand, gravel, and clay, and containing boulders
often in large numbers, must be carefully discriminated from the “ Boulder Clay ” of this
paper.
Instead of the innumerable finely polished and striated stones characteristic of the
“ Boulder Clay,” these beds contain stones with coarsely worn surfaces and half oblite-

Drift Beds with Shells in the South of Arran,” ‘ Trans. Royal Soc. Edin., vol. xxiii, p. 523.

rated striz, while many retain no signs of ice-action. Differimg in texture, they are often
loose and rubbishy—sandy and earthy—and to a large extent have been exposed to the
wear and tear of air and water.
They sometimes contain blocks even larger and heavier than those in the lower clay ;
but these blocks may have been dropped into the bed by floating ice.
1.—Some of the beds of this series consist of a thick clay with many boulders, and on
a cursory examination might easily be mistaken for ‘ Boulder Clay” in the sense in which
we have employed the term. ‘They may be distinguished, however, by observing that the
included stones while often angular and subangular, have a feeble polish, and preserve
only faint reminiscences of their former striations. Generally speaking, also, the clay and
the boulders are far less compactly pressed together, and are not welded, like the old
Boulder Clay, into an almost solid mass.
Sometimes a shell bed may be seen intervening between an upper bed of this
kind and a lower Boulder Clay; and at other times the two clay beds may be seen
in contact, the shell bed having been eliminated.
During some excavations at Chappel Hall, near Airdrie, the following sections were
exposed within seven yards of each other

We carefully examined these two clays, and found the distinctions between them very
decidedly marked. The boulders in the lower bed were polished with extreme fineness,
and the striations upon them were numerous and clear, but in the upper bed only a few
stones had slight indications of striae, while many had the appearance of having been
worn down. ‘The upper clay was also looser and more easily worked than the lower.
2.—Other beds of this series are composed of sand and gravel rather than clay, and
are either unstratified or very rudely stratified, and often contain angular and
imperfectly stratified boulders.

Between these beds also and the older Boulder Clay shell beds have been discovered.

7. Boulder Clay . é : : 12 to 20 ft.
In this section we may see in regular and ascending order—
An older Boulder Clay (I of this paper, p. 3), unfossiliferous and typical.
A fossiliferous clay (III of this paper, p. 7); a wash from an older bed, with a
scattering of striated stones.
A younger series of clays, sands, and gravels (IV of this paper, p. 8); unfossiliferous
(in this case), loose and sandy, and retaining some feebly striated stones.
From the diverse characteristics of the deposits now described, and which have all
been included more or less generally under the terms—Tiull, Northern Drift, Boulder
Clay, it is evidently of the utmost importance that precise descriptions of the clays in
which Ostracoda and other fossils have been discovered should be given. Employing a
vague nomenclature, a species may be said to occur zz the Boulder Clay, and yet have
been found either in the second or third or fourth of the beds discriminated in this paper ;
or a species may be said to occur wader the Boulder Clay, and have been found under the
first or the fourth.
A fossil really belonging to the age of the Paisley Clay might thus, for example, be
ascribed to a more remote or a more recent era almost ad diditum, to the great confusion
of any attempts to understand either the variations of climate or the distribution of species
which may have taken place during the Glacial Epoch and the subsequent physical
history of Great Britain.

POST-TERTIARY FOSSILIFEROUS DEPOSITS. 11
§ II. VARIETIES OF FOSSILIFEROUS DEPOSITS, NOT BEING BOULDER-
CLAYS. '
Necessary as it is to distinguish the so-called “ Boulder Clays” from each other, it
is equally necessary to note the differences existng between those numerous Post-tertiary
fossiliferous deposits of Scotland which cannot under any circumstances be described as
Boulder Clays, and in the larger number of which Ostracoda occur in more or less abundance.
In the earlier researches into the Post-tertiary beds of Scotland two superficial deposits
alone were noted. The lowest was vaguely termed “Till, a stiff unstratified clay mixed
with boulders,’ while the upper was described as brick or finely laminated clay overlain
by sand and gravel. The whole of the fossils found were classed together and catalogued
by Mr. Smith of Jordan Hill, in the first catalogue ever issued,’ as belonging to the
“Newer Pliocene deposits in the British Islands.”
As Mr. Smith’s investigations proceeded he discovered that he had confounded two
distinct sets of beds, and that there were in the elevated marine beds of sand, gravel, and
clay, which cover the older formations, at /east two deposits differing in climate and
fauna, and separated by wide intervals of time.* He discriminated the “ glacial deposits”
of Great Britain and Ireland from the “raised beaches,’ and a Glacial Epoch was added
to the geological record.
Mr. Smith published a second catalogue in which he confined himself to the marine
Testacea, including Cirripedia, Annelida, and Foraminifera ’’—Ostracoda had not then
been detected—of the “glacial deposits.’”* This catalogue, however, presents many
difficulties. Apart from the fact that there is a very perplexing employment of
synonyms, the original specimens from which several “ new species’ were described have
not been preserved, so that it is impossible to decide whether some of them may not
have been identical with the varieties of modern conchologists, and many of the /ocalities
are far too vaguely specified for identification.
The simple distinction between “ raised beaches” and “ glacial deposits ” does not at
all cover the whole ground occupied by the fossiliferous beds in question.

always to be honourably remembered, and the results of his researches acknowledged. His collected papers

history of Post-tertiary geology.
12 POST-TERTIARY ENTOMOSTRACA.
Professor Edward Forbes, in his paper “ On the Connection between the Distribution
of the Existing Fauna and Flora of the British Isles and the Geological Changes which
have affected their area, especially during the Epoch of the Northern Drift,’ while
referring in his catalogue of “species of marine animals found fossil in beds of the
Glacial Epoch” to localities so broadly defined as “Scotland,” “ drift beds of Scotland
and Ireland,” and “ Clyde beds,” nevertheless, by the whole course of his arguments
plainly indicates that these beds themselves must differ from each other in their general
characteristics, and require to be studied separately rather than be roughly gathered into
one group.
Among the “chief conclusions” (some of which subsequent researches have neces-
sarily modified) in which he sums up the results of the facts and arguments stated in the
essay the following occur, which bear upon the existence, among the Post-tertiary fossili-
ferous deposits under discussion, of many varieties of beds deposited neither at one time
nor under one set of circumstances.
“The greater part of the terrestrial animals and flowering plants now inhabiting the
British Islands are members of specific centres beyond their area, and have migrated to it
over continuous land before, during, or after the Glacial Epoch” (p. 399).
“The termination of the Glacial Epoch in Europe was marked by a recession of an
Arctic fauna and flora northwards, and of a fauna and flora of the Mediterranean south-
wards, and in the interspace thus produced there appeared on land the general Germanic
fauna and flora, and in the sea that fauna termed Celtic ” (p. 401).
“The causes which thus preceded the appearance of a new assemblage of organized
beings were the destruction of many species of animals, and probably also of plants, either
forms of extremely local distribution or such as were not capable of enduring many
changes of conditions,—species, in short, with very limited capacity for horizontal or
vertical diffusion ” (p. 401).
“ All the changes before, during, and after the Glacial Epoch appear to have been
gradual and not sudden, so that no marked line of demarcation can be drawn between
the creatures inhabiting the same element and the same locality during two proximate
periods” (p. 401).
The recession of one fauna and flora and the advance of another, the changes in the
local distribution of species caused by the elevation and subsidence of the land, and the
gradual passage from one set of conditions to another, must be indicated in the varying
composition of the different deposits.
The first important attempt to classify the various beds belonging to the “ Scotch
glacial drift,” as well as explain their origin and determine their sequence, was made by
Prof. A. Geikie, whose treatise “On the Phenomena of the Glacial Drift of Scotland” was
published in 1863.’

POST-TERTIARY FOSSILIFEROUS DEPOSITS. 13
Other investigators, including Mr. Jamieson, of Aberdeen, Mr. Croll, Mr. Milne
Home, Mr. James Geikie, and many other geologists, have largely advanced our know-
ledge; and the reader may be referred to many papers which during the last few years
have appeared in almost every volume of the ‘Transactions of the Geological Society of
Glasgow ;’ ‘ Transactions of the Philosophical Society of Glasgow ;’ ‘Transactions of the
Royal Society of Edinburgh ; ‘ Transactions of the Geological Society of Edinburgh ;’
‘Proceedings of the Royal Physical Society of Edinburgh ;’ ‘ Geological Magazine ;’
‘Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society,’ &c.
We proceed to describe the various fossiliferous deposits, not being Boulder Clays,
which have come under examination for the purposes of this paper.
There are various striking differences both in position and character existing among
the Post-tertiary fossiliferous glacial clays, sands, and gravels, which raise questions of
great intricacy and importance, and by which (at any rate for the purposes of study) they
must be more or less distinctly separated from each other.
In the following remarks (as well as throughout this paper) we mean by “ Boulder
Clay” the first clay which we described’ among the varieties to which that name has
been affixed.’
I. Fossiliferous beds, the remains either of the inimediate Pre-glacial period or Inter-
glacial or Glacial, have been discovered immediately beneath the Boulder Clay, and without
any Boulder Clay for their base.
The fact of the occurrence of these fossiliferous beds in this position does not, of
course, either prove them to belong to one epoch or determine their precise age at all, but
its significance will be illustrated by the following examples.
1. Suains AND CruDEN, ABERDEENSHIRE.
In the parishes of Slains and Cruden, on the east coast of Aberdeenshire, some
thick masses of sand and gravel have been described by Mr. Jamieson, ranging up to
200 feet above the sea-level, which are covered in many places “ by the red clay of the
Glacial Period, containing large boulders and ice-scratched stones,” and have no Boulder
Clay below them, and which contain a fauna allied to that of the Crag strata of England.’
‘There can be no doubt that the group of species mentioned in the following passage

2 Mr. James Geikie, in his elaborate and remarkable work on “ The Great Ice Age,” which has been
published while these pages are passing through the press, restricts the term T'l/ to the Boulder Clay of

is entirely different from any group discovered either in the older glacial or the more
recent deposits of Scotland.
“There are fragments of Voluta Lamberti, Cyprina rustica, Nucula Cobboldie, Fusus
contrarius, Purpura incrassata, Nassa elegans, Nassa reticosa, Turritella incrassata, and
probably Zrophon costiferum, forms unknown either in our glacial beds or in our present
sea. Besides these there are the broken remains of many others, of the genera Cardium,
Pecten, Venus, and Astarte, which differ from those found in any of our glacial beds, and
one of the most common shells is Pectwnculus glycimeris, which attained a large size.”
2. KILMAURS, NEAR KILMARNOCK.
Messrs. John Young and Robert Craig have published notes “On the occurrence of
Freshwater Plants and Arctic Shells, along with the remains of the Mammoth and Rein-
deer, in beds under the Boulder Clay at Kilmaurs.” ”
Since the discovery (1816) of the remains of Llephas primigenius and Cervus tarandus
at Woodhill quarry, Kilmaurs, near Kilmarnock, considerable interest has attached to
the beds underlying the Boulder Clay in this neighbourhood. Dr. Bryce has published *
the following section of beds exposed during excavations made under his direction. One
of the writers of this paper noted the section in company with Dr. Bryce, and is perfectly
satisfied that the sixteen feet of Boulder Clay consist of precisely the same clay as that
unfossiliferous Boulder Clay we have described and to which we limit the term.

resembling a fire-clay

POST-TERTIARY FOSSILIFEROUS DEPOSITS. 15
During this excavation no fossils were found, but from the same quarry a tusk of
Flephas primigenius and a pair of horns of Cervus tarandus were sent some years ago to the
Hunterian Museum (University of Glasgow), with a statement that they had been found
at a depth of thirty-four feet from the surface. By washing some sandy clay in which the
horns were embedded, and also the clay preserved in the cracks and crevices in the tusk,
Messrs. Craig and Young have discovered (1) that the specimens came from the same bed,
and (2) that this bed was of freshwater origin, and quite distinct from any bed
containing marine shells.
It appears clearly proved, therefore, that there exists in this district, beneath the old
Boulder Clay, a freshwater bed containing the remains of 27. primigenius and C. tarandus.
New pits having been sunk, Messrs. Craig and Young have been able to throw
fresh light on those beds beneath the Boulder Clay we are now discussing.’
At No. 9, Woodhill, Kilmaurs, about half a mile from the old Woodhill quarry,
the following beds were pierced :
Surface-drift and Boulder-clay —. : - ae Ut,
Sand bed, containing Arctic marine shells. : ; ? fi. 1:
Sandy peaty clay, about : : R 5 parle.
Coarse gravelly sand . ; ‘ : 1 ft. 6 in.
Carboniferous strata.
Every one of the nine species of Mollusca found in this sand bed also occurs in the
glacial clay, resting in hollows of the Boulder Clay (of which we shall presently speak), so
that the bed is entirely different from Mr. Jamieson’s Aberdeenshire “ pre-glacial”’ sand
and gravel, although it occupies the same position relatively to the Boulder Clay.
The same remark applies to a sand bed found beneath the Boulder Clay at a pit
250 yards south-east from No. 9 pit, where the section is—
Surface-drift and Boulder-clay . . . Ad ft.
Sand bed, with Arctic shells . ‘ 5 ‘ sD Et
Clay-shale, the roof of the “ Major Coal.”
In this pit the coarse gravelly sand and sand and peaty clay of the neighbouring pit
are absent.”
Messrs. Craig and Young believe that the freshwater bed, containing mammalian
remains, is situated beneath the Arctic shell-sand, and consequently conclude that the
land has suffered a long submergence since the mammoth and the reindeer existed in the
pre-glacial valley of the Carmel at Kilmaurs, but for their ingenious argument on this
point we must refer to the paper already cited.

16 POST-TERTIARY ENTOMOSTRACA.
The following Ostracoda were found :
Cythere concinna, Jones.
Cytheridea punctillata, Brady.
3. Taney GLEN, NEAR CAMPBELTOWN.
In Tangy Glen, about six miles from Campbeltown on the road to Tarbert, about
300 yards up the little stream, at a pomt where it turns eastwards, and 130 feet above
the sea-level, the water has cut deeply into the bank, exposing a cliff of Boulder Clay
rising to the height of upwards of 100 feet.
This Boulder Clay is of the most pronounced type, stiff, compact, and full of highly
striated stones of various sizes. At one part a finer or more sandy bed, gradually
thinning out, is intercalated with the clay ; and such lenticular beds are not uncommon
in the Boulder Clays of the West of Scotland. Within this Boulder Clay, and covered by
it, a stratified shell-bearing clay is seen standing up like a boss or knoll, and has doubtless
been brought to this form by abrasion. At the point of greatest exposure it is thirteen feet
high; and it can be traced, as it thins down along the edge of the streamlet, for a distance
of sixty or seventy yards. The exact depth could not be ascertained; but, as the rock
is seen at a short distance on either hand, it is probably not more than a few feet deeper
than the actual exposure, and we could detect no Boulder Clay beneath it. The shell-
bearing clay is dark grey in colour, and contrasts strongly with the underlying Boulder
Clay, which is of a full reddish-brown.

The fossils in this deposit are but sparingly met with—Mbllusca especially are com-
paratively rare—Leda pygmaa being the prevailing shell, with an occasional Leda pernula,
Venus ovata, Corbula gibba. Some species, however, are of an extremely Arctic character,
and while somewhat common in the glacial beds on the east coast, are very seldom met
with in the west of Scotland. Pecten Grenlandicus, e.g., is common at Montrose, Errol,
and Elie, but in the west we have only seen it at Tangy. It is remarkable that at Mont-
rose it is only obtained at a great depth, seldom less than thirty or forty feet, but at Elie
it is found only a few feet beneath the surface and within reach of the tide, and in neither
of these cases beneath the Boulder Clay; while at Tangy it is beneath Boulder Clay, and
130 feet above the present sea-level.
POST-TERTIARY FOSSILIFEROUS DEPOSITS. i
Montacuta clevata, an Arctic species, very rare in the glacial clays of Britain, also
occurs. The Ostracoda (of which we collected twenty-three species to be presently
enumerated) have much in common with those found in the clays on the east coast of
Scotland, which represent more strongly Arctic types than those generally found in the
west. Amongst these are—
Cytheropteron Montrosiense, nov. sp.
Cytheridea Sorbyana, Jones.
Only one of these has yet been found in the glacial clays of the west of Scotland—
C. Montrosiense, which we obtained at a depth of eighteen feet from a glacial clay,
dippmg away from the Clyde, near Govan. C. Sorbyana is a common species in. the
glacial clays of Norway.
There is little doubt, however, that these species will be at some time found in a
western clay, just as we have found in a pit in Ayrshire a solitary specimen of Leda
arctica, which is the characteristic shell of the Errol clay on the west, but the fact of
their extreme rarity, to say the least, in the west and abundance in the east is full of
significance.
Height above the sea 1380 feet.
The following Ostracoda were found :

4. Kine Epwarp, ABERDEENSHIRE.
A shell-bearing silt is in this section covered by a thick mass of Boulder Clay, which
is fossiliferous in its lower portion only; but, as its base has not been exposed, it is
uncertain whether any Boulder Clay extends beneath it.
Mr. Jamieson gives the following section, and remarks that the broken shells in the
lower part of the coarse upper drift appear to have been derived from the glacial marine
silt below, in which the shells are zm sz¢i.

and somewhat ferruginous. Contains no fossils . 10 to 25
2. Unstratified pebbly mud of a dark-grey tint, hard, and difficult to
pierce. The stones in it are of small size, but numerous, and some of
them are glacially scratched. In the upper part I could see no
shells; but shell fragments occur in the lower part, increasing in
numbers towards the base. Some of the shell fragments show
distinct traces of glacial action : : . 20 to 30

interstratified with the upper part of the subjacent bed. 1 to 2
4. Fine dark-grey silt, free from stones, containing Arctic shells com-
plete, and apparently in sité...... This silt is very firm, as if much
compressed, and the greater proportion of it consists of fine muddy
sand. ‘The base of this bed has not been exposed, but it has been
excavated ..... to a depth of ten feet. No difference in the quality
is to be seen to this depth; no stones. The upper surface of this silt
is about 150 feet above the sea.’
Mr. Jamieson classes the fossils found at King Edward with the Paisley, Kilchattan,
and Gamrie groups, as being less intensely Arctic (as we shall also have occasion to
remark when describing the Ostracoda) than the Errol and Elie groups. |

The following Ostracoda were found :
Cythere tuberculata (G. O. Sars).

5. Thus the following classes of fossiliferous beds may be found deneath the Boulder
Clay, and without any observed Boulder Clay for their base :
a. Marine sands and gravels more allied to the English Crag than to the glacial
clays.
6. Beds of freshwater origin with the remains of Hlephas primigenius and Cervus
tarandus.
c. Marine beds containing the common Arctic fauna of the Clyde glacial beds.
d. Marine beds which have been broken up by some disturbing force, and some of
the shells from which have been mixed with the Boulder Clay under which they were
finally crushed.
It does not necessarily follow from the mere position of any one of these beds beneath
a Boulder Clay that it must belong to an “interglacial”’ period ; many other considerations
are needed to determine this pomt. A Boulder Clay may have been deposited upon a
shell bed during some interglacial period, or during the later part of the glacial marine
period, according to the local circumstances of the case; or it may even have been thrown
upon it by an accidental displacement long after its own original formation.
Il. Hossiliferous beds have been also found, situated between masses of Boulder Clay,
which have been referred (together with other sand and gravels) to a series of “ Interglacial
deposits.’
The actual occurrence of fossiliferous beds between masses of Boulder Clay does not
prove that all such beds belong to the same period, or even that they were deposited in
the middle of the Glacial Epoch itself.
It is possible (as instanced in Caithness) that drifting ice should have passed over a

shell bed of the same age, to say the least, as the later Clyde shell beds, and have
deposited Boulder Clay upon it.
Whether this actually happened or not in the special cases quoted from Caithness
does not affect the possibility in question.
It is equally possible that during the final recession of the ice, at points where the
glacier reached the sea, Boulder Clay may have been thrown over shell beds belonging to
the most recent period of the Glacial Epoch.
Regarding these intercalated beds, it has also to be determined whether they occupy
their peculiar position naturally or accidentally.
The Boulder Clay (as has already been described) exists in great undulating ridges, as
well as against hillsides and in the interstices of broken ground, and often rises up in
hillocks and eminences, and has marine shell clay deposited in its hollows.
It is clearly within the range of possibility that it should in some instances have been
undermined by the action of water or some other physical agency, and have fallen over
a shell bed of far later date than itself.
In the series of sands, gravels, and clays claimed by Mr. J. Geikie as ‘‘ interglacial,”
and regarded by him, in his striking argument, as proving that many changes of climate
may have taken place during the accumulation of the Till and its associated deposits, few
of a fossiliferous character can as yet be quoted, so that a general discussion of them does
not fall within the limits of this paper.
We shall notice only those examined for Ostracoda.
1. CRoFTHEAD, NEAR GLASGOW.
In the cutting of the Crofthead and Kilmarnock railway, beds of freshwater clay were
exposed which have been the subject of considerable discussion. ‘They were described by
Mr. J. Geikie as interglacial, in the ‘ Geological Magazine’ (vol. v, p. 393, vi 73, vii 58),
and as resting upon and covered by the “ Till” (Boulder Clay). Mr. Craig in the same
magazine questioned whether the upper bed overlying the stratified bed was “ a deposit
from land ice,” and regarded the position of a large mass of Boulder Clay which covered
a part of the stratified clay as owing to “a series of slips.”
These stratified lacustrine clays yielded the skull and horn core of Bos primigenius,
part of the horn of Megaceros Hibernicus, and a few bones of Hyuus caballus.

9. PAISLEY.
When digging a foundation on the side of Oakshaw Hill, on which part of Paisley is
built, a hill which is at its summit 106 feet above the sea-level, and stretches in a gradual
slope 800 yards from east to west, a bed of Boulder Clay was laid bare, beneath which
was found the common Arctic shell of the district “ with a bed of J/ytilus edulis on its
surface.” This Arctic-shell-clay itself, throughout the whole neighbourhood, rests upon
the Boulder Clay. The Rev. W. Fraser (from whose description we quote)’ states that
“this shell-bed was sixty-four feet above the mean sea-level, and the height rising over it
was forty-two feet, of what in ordinary circumstances would have been accepted as genuine
Till or old Boulder Clay,” and attributes its position to the stranding of masses of ice-
carrying portions of the Boulder Clay on the ridge.
Mr. J. Young, however, suggests that the position of this Upper Boulder Clay is due
either to diggings from the Lower Boulder Clay which have been removed and laid down
over more recent deposits, or to a slip of the Boulder Clay forming the crown of the hill
over more recent beds.’
This shell-clay, although intercalated in the way described, contains precisely the
same fauna as that which will be presently given from the Paisley district.

III. The first great series of fossiliferous Post-Tertiary clays, sands, and gravels is
characterised by a fauna of a more or less decidedly Arctic character.
‘These clays, sands, and gravels are found in the following positions :
(1) They exist, im the manner already described, beneath great masses of Boulder
Clay.
(2) They are intercalated, as also has been described, with masses of Boulder Clay.
(3) They either immediately overlie the fossiliferous Boulder Clay or are separated
from it only by a thin seam of laminated clay, but are not covered by Boulder Clay.
(4) They are connected with a series of sands and gravels.
Examples of Arctic fossiliferous clays beneath the Boulder Clay and intercalated with
Boulder Clay have already been discussed ; and we proceed to consider the deposits which
are Arctic in character, but are neither situated beneath the Boulder Clay nor intercalated
with it.
IV. A large class of the clays and sands, characterised by an Arctic fauna, in many
cases either immediately overlie the unfossiliferous Boulder Clay, or are only separated from
it by a thin seam of laminated clay, but are not covered by the Boulder Clay itself.
These beds belong to the period or periods during which an Arctic fauna was most
abundantly developed. Whether they consist of clay, sand, or gravel, is, of course, a
circumstance of purely local determination, as it is with the marine deposits which are
forming at the present day, but since such differences naturally influenced the fauna of
which they were the habitat we shall give some details regarding them, as we notice the
localities from which our specimens have been obtained.
As fossiliferous deposits they are generally remarkable for the perfect preservation of
the various species they contain iz sit. At Paisley, e.g., Cyprina Islandica occurs with
both valves united and covered with its epidermis; and fragile bivalves hke Mucula
tenuis, Axinus flecuosus, var. Gouldii, as well as the most delicate Ostracoda, are in a
perfect condition. From a clay bed near Blairmore, Loch Long, we have gathered
numerous specimens of Astarte, including A. borealis, A. sulcata, A. compressa, evidently
in their native habitat. In the banks of a freshwater stream near Loch Gilp, a whole
bed of Mya Uddevallensis was found, each shell in its natural boring position.
Pecten Islandicus and Saaicava (Panopea) Norvegica and Mya Uddevallensis have all
‘been collected, in the Kyles of Bute, in the positions in which they lived and died; the
|

Pecten Islandicus being often covered with large Balani, which must have been broken
had they been drifted.
In exposed situations there must have been contemporaneous beds of gravel m which
the Mollusca’ were rolled and broken and Ostracoda could not live. An example may be
seen in the railway-cutting near Drymen, Stirlingshire (140 feet above the sea), where a
gravel bed has been exposed, full of hinges and fragments of the shell of Cyprina Islandica,
fragments of Pecten Islandicus, Astarte sulcata, Buccinum undatum, and other bivalves,
while only a few univalves, like Zrophon clathratus, are entire, aud Entomostraca are very
scarce.
Very frequently these Arctic Post-tertiary clays, especially in the west of Scotland,
rest upon an unfossiliferous Boulder Clay, a thin seam of laminated clay alone interposing,
and are overlain by beds of sand and gravel, followed by peat and surface soil.
The Boulder Clay throughout the whole district is violently undulated ; and the over-
lying beds of the Arctic shell clay commonly rest in the hollows of the Boulder Clay,
although in some instances, as at Jordan Hill and Airdrie, they attain the heights of
63 feet and 526 feet respectively.
The laminated clay which so frequently interposes between the Boulder Clay and the
clay in which an Arctic marine fauna most abundantly occurs may be clearly seen in this
position at Paisley, along the shores of Gareloch and Loch Long, at Kilchattan, and
throughout the Kyles of Bute. The Boulder Clay deneath it, in all these localities, is
uniformly azoic, while the clay immediately above it is literally packed with Arctic
Mollusca and swarms with Ostracoda.
This laminated clay was formerly supposed to be unfossiliferous; we have, however,
detected in it several species of Foraminifera and Ostracoda. When the specimens are
extremely rare, it generally happens that they consist of Foraminifera only, but when they
prevail to any slight extent Ostracoda are also found.
This laminated clay was probably deposited by the cold and rapid waters of streams
issuing from beneath the snow and ice of an elevated land surface, and carrying to the
sea the fine mud with which they were charged.
The way in which it has happened that the laminated clay itself contains so few
fossils, while the clay immediately above it abounds with Ostracoda and Mollusca, is
explained by observations made in the Arctic regions by Dr. Robert Brown, of
Campster.
Dr. Brown has had large opportunities of examining ice-action, and draws the
distinction between the “ ordinary stratified azoic clay and the finer stratified fossiliferous
clay,” upon which we have been led by our study of the Scotch beds to insist ; while he

expresses a strong opinion “ regarding the identical character of the sub-glacial stream-
clay, and the fossiliferous brick-clay.”
“In this clayey bed the Arctic Mollusca and other marine animals find a congenial
home, and burrow into it in great numbers. However, as the new deposits are thrown
down, they keep near the surface to be able to get their food; so that if to-day a cata-
strophe were to overwhelm the whole marine life of the Arctic regions, it would be found
(supposing by upheaval or otherwise we were able to verify the fact) that the animals
would only be imbedded in the upper strata of clay, and that the bottom one, with the
exception of a few dead shells, would be azoic ; yet I need not say how erroneously we
should argue, if, from this, we drew the inference that at the time the bottom layers or
strata of this laminated clay were formed there was no life in the Arctic waters, and that
they were formed under circumstances which prevented their being fossiliferous. The
bearing of this on the subject in question need scarcely be pointed out. It ought to be
noted that, supposing we were able to examine the bottom of the Arctic Sea (Davis’
Straits, for stance), it would be found that this clayey deposit would not be found over
the whole surface of it, but only over patches. or instance, all of the ice-fjords would
be found full of it to the depth of many feet, shoaling off at the seaward end; and certain
other places on the coast would be also covered with it; but the middle and mouth of
Davis’ Straits and Baffin’s Bay, and the wide intervals between the different ice-fjords,
would either be bare or but slightly covered with small patches from local glaciers ; yet
we should reason most grievously in error did we conclude therefrom that the other
portions of the bottom covered with sand, gravel, or black mud were laid down at a
different period from the other, or under other different conditions than geographical
position. ‘These ice-rivers seem, in the first place, to have taken their direction according
to the nature of the country over which the inland ice lies, and latterly according
to the course of the glaciers. No doubt they branch over the whole country, like a
regular river-system. When the glacier reaches the sea, the stream flows out under the
water, and, owing to the smaller specific gravity of the fresh water, rises to the surface,
as Dr. Rink describes, ‘like springs,’ though I do not suppose that he considers (as some
have supposed him to do) that that water was in reality spring-water, or of the nature of
springs. Zere are generally swarms of Entomostraca and other marine animals, which
attract flights of gulls, which are ever noisily fighting for their food in the vicinity of such
places” (p. 682-4).
It is very noticeable that the same kind of laminated clay occupies precisely the same
position in the series of glacial beds exposed near Christiania.’
We observed the following section at the Lower Foss Clay Bank, near Christiania.
1. Unfossiliferous boulder-clay (with striated blocks, hard and compact).
1 See ‘Notes on the Post-Tertiary Geology of Norway.’ By H. W. Crosskey and D. Robertson.
‘Trans. Phil. Soc. of Glasgow,’ 1868.
POST-TERTIARY FOSSILIFEROUS DEPOSITS. 25
2. Laminated clay (not to be distinguished physically from the laminated clay of the
Paisley and other sections).
3. Clay, charged with an Arctic fauna.
Just as the district around Paisley and other points where the laminated clay
occurs would, from their natural position, receive a body of fresh water, supposing the
land during the Glacial Epoch more elevated than at present; so would the district near
Christiania, at which the same laminated clay is found.
Whatever its origin, it constitutes a curiously distinct deposit ; and is easily distin-
guishable from the fine clay (sometimes itself called “fine laminated clay ” or “ glacial
marme bed’’) which succeeds it, and represents the slightly more recent bed of an arctic
sea, crowded with life.
The following Ostracoda have been found in the laminated clay :
Cytheridea punctillata, Brady.
Cytherura Sarsii, Brady.
§ III. OSTRACODIFEROUS BEDS.
A.—We proceed to notice in detail the principal beds of clay and sand, characterised
by an Arctic Fauna, from which the Ostracoda described in this Monograph have been
derived.
1. PAIsuey.
In studying various clay-pits exposed from time to time in the neighbourhood of
Paisley, we have observed the following beds, the measurements of which varied even
within a few hundred yards.
The Boulder Clay is of the usual irregular character, rising up in hillocks here and
there, to and above the ordinary surface-level; and in some places formed into troughs
of considerable depths.
1. Surface soil.
2. Sands and gravels (probably old river-drift).
3. Littoral marine shell bed, containing Cardium edule, Mytilus edulis, and pieces of wood
bored by Zeredo, &c. (In one section which we measured this bed was nine inches in depth.)
4. Marine fossiliferous clay :
a. Upper part ; no Mollusca to be found, but Foraminifera and Ostracoda.
6. Middle part ; a few Mollusca, Ostracoda and Foraminifera more plentiful.
ec. Lower part; fauna abundant.
zu
ee
26 POST-TERTIARY ENTOMOSTRACA.
5. Laminated clay (estuarine or marine), as a rule, only containing a few Fora-
minifera.
6. Unfossiliferous Boulder Clay.
An instance in which the fossiliferous clay has been found between two Boulder
Clays has been already noted.
We examined in detail the following section at Short Road Brickwork (south side of
road).
1. Mould ‘ ; . : ; 3 to 4 ft.
2. Gravel (no fossils) 4 upwards to | ft.
3. Thick dark clay (fossiliferous, apabialine in the ee 6 ft.) Sf:
4, Laminated whitish clay (with Foraminifera). ‘ 1g ft.
5. Yellowish-brown clay (with Foraminifera) 3 2 ft.
6. Muddy sand, not cut through (Foraminifera and @steacoulais
The Boulder Clay is met with at about the same level in a pit not more than 100
yards distant, and without doubt forms here, as throughout the district, the base of the
series. The first seven feet under the gravel is brownish coloured, especially towards
the top, and contains comparatively few fossils. Among these Mytilus modiolus is found
with united valves. The next six feet run into a dark-grey clay with an abundant
fauna. In the tenth and eleventh feet below the gravel is a bed of Cyprina Islandica.
The layer of laminated whitish clay (4) under this is more sharply defined below
than above. When dry it has little cohesion and breaks down easily between the fingers
like a piece of chalk. It is finely laminated, and washes almost wholly away through a
sieve of ninety-six meshes to the linear inch. In washing 100 oz. of dry clay, only two
drachms were Jeft as a residue, which consisted of very fine sand and a considerable number
of Polystomella striato-punctata and Nonionina depressula.
The yellowish-brown clay (5), constituting the next two feet in the section, is much
more cohesive ; the layers are divided from an inch to half an inch apart by fine sand; and
these again into excessively thin layers by lighter and darker coloured clays. In washing,
this is similar to the clay above it, and only one Foraminifer was met with. The muddy
sand (6) underlying this loses 63 per cent. in washing ; but the greater part of the loss
is an extremely fine sand. Three Foraminifera were met with, and one valve of Cytheridea
punctillata.
The fossils in the clay beds around Paisley are mostly confined, as in the section we
have now described, to the lower half of the deposit, and generally have their chief
abundance within from one to three feet of the laminated clay.
Foraminifera and Ostracoda are met with, more or less, from top to bottom of the
clay, more constantly Foraminifera; but as a rule both are found most profusely where
Mollusca prevail. In many cases Mytilus edulis occurs in considerable abundance below
POST-TERTIARY FOSSILIFEROUS DEPOSITS. 27
Cyprina islandica, and near the bottom of the section. This is pre-eminently the case in
a clay pit west of Paisley, and at Jordan Hill, about three miles north-west of Glasgow,
where it is found fourteen feet below the surface.
The position of the fossils in the clay is not precisely the same in all the glacial beds
of the same geological horizon.
When the Greenock New Docks were excavated the laminated clay was cut through
for many feet, until the unstratified Boulder Clay was reached; and the junction was
sharply marked by a thin layer of whitish-coloured clay, three or four inches thick,
containing Foraminifera and Ostracoda. This thin stratum of whitish clay was followed
by a darker coloured clay crowded with Mollusca, amongst which were Cyprina Islandica,
Pecten Islandicus, and Tellina calcarea.
At Kilchattan tile-works, Buteshire, the fossils of all species are most plentiful, above
the laminated clay, in a bed of sand or gravelly sand, which lies between the clays and
the upper gravel.
At Elie, Fifeshire, the fossils are plentiful near the top of the clay a little under the
gravel, and amongst them are Leda arctica and Thracia myopsis, with Ostracoda of an
extremely arctic character.
In many other deposits of the same age an odd shell is only seen occasionally. This
not unfrequently happens at different points of the Paisley beds. In a brickfield on the
west side of the Cart, near the.park, one or two specimens only by diligent search may
be met with, although they are plentiful in cuttings close to the spot.
Before a microscopic examination of the clays was made the fossiliferous beds under
discussion were described as situated between an unfossiliferous upper clay and an
equally unfossiliferous laminated clay. It will be seen from the foregoing observations,
however, that they occupy no such position. Foraminifera and Ostracoda of marine and
estuarine character occur in the laminated clay, where the Mollusca are either absent or
rare, and continue throughout the upper clay, where the Mollusca gradually disappear.
It thus appears possible to trace by these fossiliferous beds, occurring in the valley
of the Clyde, (1) the pouring down of the muddy waters of an arctic river, (2) the
subsidence of the land to a depth sufficient for the abode of an arctic fauna in the waters,
(3) the gradual disappearance of the marine fauna owing to the re-elevation of the
land, (4) the recurring of a river, with far broader boundaries than now exist.
‘The height above the sea of the arctic-shell-clays around Paisley (including the
bed on the higher ground; covered with Boulder Clay, which has been previously
described) is from twenty feet to sixty-four feet.

2. IN anpD ARoUND GLAsGow.
In the immediate neighbourhood of Glasgow the arctic marine clay rests upon a
thick bed of sand, and is distinctly covered by a river-drift.’
1 On this and other connected points, see an admirable series of papers by Mr. James Binnie, on
“The Surface Geology of Glasgow,” published in the ‘Trans. Geol. Soc. of Glasgow,’ vol. ii, parts ii and
iii; vol. iii, part i.
POST-TERTIARY FOSSILIFEROUS DEPOSITS. 29
In sections made during the formation of Windmillcroft Dock, Mr. J. Binnie
discovered in the Upper Sands, extending from a few feet to a depth of twenty-two
feet, numerous portions of the epidermis of Unio margaritifera. ‘A few of them,” he
writes, “had belonged to single valves, and in one or two instances the epidermis of
both valves was flattened together; but the greater number were lying in their natural
position with the umbonal portion undermost, proving that they had lived and died in the
gravel and had not been drifted down by a spate.’
A bed of clay containing marine Ostracoda, together with such arctic Mollusca as
Leda pernula and Tellina calcarea, succeeded this river-drift, and was found to rest upon
a bed of white sand of considerable thickness and extent (not exhausted in nineteen
feet of dredging between the piles at the entrance of the dock), and containing some
polished and striated boulders. Mr. J. Binnie quotes the “Journal of a Bore for an
Artesian Well” made at McPhail Street, Greenhead :?

part i.
POST-TERTIARY FOSSILIFEROUS DEPOSITS. 31
Mr. Binnie sums up the general results as follows :—‘“ Between fifty and sixty bores
have been obtained having sand, gravel, or clay, true water-drifted materials, inter-
stratified with or lying beneath Boulder Clay. Twenty-five of these have one bed of sand
or clay intercalated between two beds of Boulder Clay, proving that one break occurred.
Ten bores have two beds of sand or clay intercalated between three beds of Boulder Clay ;
showing, of course, so many more breaks. One bore has three, and two bores have four
beds of sand, interpolated in Boulder Clay; while one bore has no less than five beds of
sand alternating with Boulder Clay,—a number sufficient to prove that the ice-sheet was
not continuous throughout the Glacial Epoch, but disappeared for periods so long that
great beds of water-made débris could be deposited in the interval. Twenty bores have
sand or gravel at the bottom and Boulder Clay above. Some of these may possibly be
preglacial and synchronous with the Crag period of England, but they are probably inter-
glacial, and only apparently preglacial from accidental causes easily supposable.” !
It must be remembered, however, that the district covered by these bores would
probably be more or less directly connected with the bed of a glacial river, debouching
into the sea, and be peculiarly affected, therefore, by the summer meltings of the ice. A
large part of it also has undoubtedly been covered by floating ice charged with débris
during the later portions of the Glacial Epoch.
At Windmillcroft, sixteen feet above the sea, the following Ostracoda have been
found :
Sclerochilus contortus (Norman).
Cytheropteron latissimum (Norman).
3. Stopcross RaiLway-Curtine (GLAscow).
In this cutting a section nearly half a mile in length is exposed, between Galbraith
Street on the east and Sandyford Street on the west, to a depth of forty feet from the
surface.
At the west end it passes through a layer of Boulder Clay 300 yards in length and
37 feet at its highest summit. On the east, where the knoll dips more rapidly than on
the west, it is overlapped by a fine yellow sand, which, after continuing a little further
eastward, is replaced by gravel.
On the north side of the cutting a series of sands, clays, and gravels abuts against
the Boulder Clay, and stretches over it. The sand overlies the gravel, which is covered
with the clay, and the clay at some points is overlain by sand. There is no definite
order, however, in which the sands, gravels, and clays of this neighbourhood fixedly
1 Ibid., p. 136.
32 POST-TERTIARY ENTOMOSTRACA.
recur, although the bores show that in some places sand alternates with gravel to a
depth of eighty or ninety feet.
The layers exposed in the railway-cutting do not maintain a horizontal line or follow
a regular dip, but present false beddings with violent contortions.
The overlying shell-bearing clays conform, however, to the sand banks over which they
are deposited, with depressions less or more abrupt according to their character. The
shell-bearing clays of this section are therefore evidently of later date than the estuarine
sands upon which they rest, as well as later than the Boulder Clay.
The clay is for the most part of a sandy character ; it is finest towards the east, where
it is deepest and overlapped with muddy sand, with which it is less and less mixed as it
descends.
Along the north of the cutting, where the clay is seen overlying the sand, many of the
layers of sand are more or less mixed with mud, showing that the deposit of mud has
gone on mixing with the sand until changed circumstances permitted the mud to
accumulate.
The divisions between the layers of clay are, in most instances, formed by a very
fine sprinkling of fine sand, and groups of these layers are often again divided by thicker
and coarser beds of sand.
These groups of thin layers are sometimes nearly of the same depth, but at other
times are more irregular, and the bands of sand vary in thickness,
These very thin layers appear to have been formed by frequent and gentle undula-
tions of the water. Winds and tides would carry over the mud only the finest particles
of sand, while the thicker bands would be produced by stronger winds and storms. The
lapse of time between the recurrence of these disturbing causes may be reckoned by the
distance of the bands from each other, and their strength by the depth of the bands.
From the sharp lines between the bands we may infer that the causes were transient ;
but in the case of such deposits as those at Stobcross, where the sands and clays have
been washed into each other, the conditions must have been more continuous and the
water comparatively shallow.
The fauna (which has been chiefly obtained from the east bank of clay), although not
abundant, furnishes ample proof of the purely marine character of the deposit. Among
the shells obtained were—
Tellina calcarea,
Cyprina Islandica,
Mya truncata, &c.
In the muddy sand exposed at a lower level in the excavation for the Stobcross* Docks,
close by the Clyde, brackish water Ostracoda are found, marking the change from a sea to
an estuary.

4, JorpDAN HILL, NEAR GLAsGow.
‘The Crow Road, on the side of which the clay is worked, is at that point sixty-three
feet above the sea-level.
The clay extends down the incline of the hill, approaching the valley of the Clyde, on
the south, where it is exposed along the White Inch Railway, and also passes over. its
summit on the north.
Jordan Hill itself is irregularly covered with masses of Boulder Clay of variable
thickness ; the Boulder Clay, however, cannot be observed in any place to rest upon the
shell-beds.
- Our examination of one series of excavations, made to a depth of from twelve to
twenty-four feet, established the existence of the following series of beds ; their thicknesses,
as usual, varying over very narrow areas.

same as that which we have already described as underlying the clay more abundantly
charged with the arctic fauna of the district, although itself containing evidence of its
marine origin. The Boulder Clay can be traced to points at which it evidently passes
under the whole series of laminated and fossiliferous clays.
At another point of the Hill two distinct fossiliferous beds can be traced, and the
series runs :
1. Surface soil.
2. Littoral shell-bed a few inches (with Littorina litorea, L. rudis, Mytilus edulis, &e.,
all recent species).
3. Clay with arctic species ; chiefly confined to a band of two to three feet.
4. Laminated clay.
A similar littoral shell-bed (2) is met with on the low ground on the north of Paisley,
about fifty feet lower than Jordan Hill.
The two tidal belts represented by these littoral shell-beds could not have been
coexistent.
Another curious feature in this deposit is the position of the Mussel-bed. While
Mytilus edulis certainly abounds in the youngest littoral beds, it is also found at greater
depths and overlain by arctic shells.
At Paisley it is found twelve feet below the surface, at Muirhouse nineteen feet, at
Stobcross twenty-four feet, and at Jordan Hill fourteen feet.
Mussel-beds undoubtedly existed, therefore, in the early periods of the deposition of
the arctic clays as well as in the most recent, indicating several changes of level in the
sea-bottom, and marking in the various heights at which they occur changes of elevation
in the land-surface.
Height above the sea, sixty-three feet.

7. Oup Mains, RenFruw.
In a cutting for a tramway, between the Houston Pit No. 5 and the farm of Old
Mains, a bed of shells of arctic character is exposed. The cutting is from six to seven
feet at the highest point, and the bed of shells stretches along the section for about
twenty yards, cropping out towards the farm and dipping towards the River Cart.
The thickest part of the shell-stratum exposed is from eighteen to twenty inches; but
the cutting appears only to have touched the edge of the shell-bed, as it is not seen on
the opposite bank.
The deposit is made up of brown sand and earth crowded with stones, many of them
covered with Balanz. Sand predominates in the shell-stratum. Mytilus modiolus,
Saaicava rugosa, Astarte sulcata, and Axvinus flecuosus we found with united valves.
Such species as Pecten Islandicus, Tellina calcarea, Trochus Grenlandicus, T. tumidus,
Natica afinis, N. Grenlandica, Velutina zonata, Pleurotoma violacea, Buccinum
Grenlandicum, also occur.

8. Datmuir, DUMBARTONSHIRE.
The deposit at Dalmuir was first described by Dr. Thomas Thompson in a paper
entitled “On a deposit of Recent Marine Shells at Dalmuir, Dumbartonshire,” and
published in the Records of General Science,’ vol. i, p. 133 (1835). At that time,
however, the distinction was not drawn between the recent marine shell-beds and the
arctic shell-beds, to the latter of which classes the Dalmuir deposit undoubtedly belongs.
Dr. Thompson describes the locality as follows :—“'The locality in which the fossils are
exposed is situated on the banks of the Dalmuir Burn, about 100 yards above the
bridge, by which the road from Glasgow to Dumbarton crosses it, and about a mile
from the Clyde. The current of the stream is not very rapid, so that the bed of shells
is probably not more than twenty feet above the level of the Clyde, which at that place
is sensibly salt at high water. ‘The breadth of the channel of the stream at this place
is about fourteen feet, and the depth of the banks is about two and a half feet. The
sandy deposit appears to extend on both sides of the stream, upwards and downwards,
without alteration ; but the fossils are confined to a circular or rather elliptical face, the
breadth of which (across the stream) is about twenty-five feet, while its length is only
about fifteen feet. The deposit extends back from each bank only about six feet, so.
that more than one half the whole mass has been cut away during the change of the course
of the rivulet... . - The depth of the bed in its original state must have been twelve
or fourteen feet.” Mr. Sowerby pronounced three of the species there found to differ
from any known recent British species. One of them was said to be Natica glaucinoides,
a Crag fossil (really, we believe, WV. afinis, described as JV. clausa by Searles Wood in
‘Monograph of Crag Mollusca,’ Part I, p. 147); another was called Fusus lamellosus,
“which had only been observed about the Straits of Magellan” (a mistake for the
arctic species now called Zrophon clathratum, var. Gunneri); and a third, Buccinum
striatum, “an unknown species ” (now identified with B. Granlandicum, Chemnitz).
The fact, however, that these species were unknown as British, led Mr. J. Smith to
POST-TERTIARY FOSSILIFEROUS DEPOSITS. 39
imagine that the term “recent,” which had been usually applied to such deposits, was
not rigidly correct ; and he made another excavation and published a list of shells which
established the glacial character of the beds.’
No further examination of the Dalmuir beds was carried on until we made an
excavation in the east side of the stream to the north of the bridge. on the Dumbarton
Road, in the immediately adjacent field, about half way down. At this point the shells
are discovered in great abundance, in the position described by Dr. Thompson, beneath
an overlying bed of sand and gravel. Of eleven pounds of the dry clay from this bed
three pounds two ounces were lost in washing through a sieve of ninety-six cross threads
to the inch, leaving seven pounds fourteen ounces of a residue. Three and a half pounds
of this residue were retained in a sieve of 34-inch mesh, and consisted chiefly of small
stones of trap, quartz, and sandstone ; a ini were quite smooth and only rounded at the
corners, others less or more irregular. Many of the polished stones were fractured, and
some few finely striated. The bulk of the shelly dédris in this portion was made up of
Mytilus edulis and M. modiolus. he other portion of the residue (four pounds six
ounces) consisted chiefly of sand, mixed with the plates and spines of £chimi and many
species of small Mollusca.
Besides this north patch of shell-bearing clay, there is another bed a few hundred
yards to the south which was laid open by a cutting for the water-course of the Dalmuir
paper-mill, and extends along the north side of the bank, about forty yards east of the
burn. The shell-bearing clay rises about four feet above the water-course, when it is
overlain by two feet of waterworn gravel. The upper portion of the shell-bearing clay
is more sandy than the lower, which contams more stones, most of them water-worn,
some rounded off at the corners, a few angular, and a few with well-marked striations.
Beneath the upper clay, however, is a bed of sand about six inches in thickness, in
which many of the peculiarly Arctic Mollusca are especially large and strong. Z)rophon
clathratum, e. g., is very abundant, while it is scarce in the upper part of the clay. The
sand is followed by a stiff blue Boulder Clay (common through the district) in which no
shells occur. —

In the section on the north, the shell-bearing sandy clay was originally twelve or
fourteen feet.
In both beds the deposit of shell-bearinmg clay appears very circumscribed. It
could not be traced for more than twenty yards along the watercourse; and from the
pot where the shells are exposed, the overlying gravel deepens on both sides east and
west.
There can be no doubt, however, that many similar patches of fossiliférous sands
and clays exist beneath the surface at different points through the whole district
where circumstances have permitted their preservation, and will from time to time be
discovered.
Although the fauna of the two beds described is of precisely the same general
character, there are local differences in the species found equivalent to those which
occur in neighbouring parts of the same sea bottom at the present day. ellina
calcarea and Trophon clathratum, var. Gunnert, e.g., are more common in the south than
in the north, but 7. ¢runcatum and Lacuna divaricata, with spines of Hchini, are
much rarer.

10. Locu Lomonp.
On the shore of the little island of Inchlonaig, in dry seasons when the water of the
lake is very low, a bed of dark grey clay is exposed, thickly interspersed with shells,
amongst which are Zellina calcarea, Pecten Islandicus, Leda pernula, L. pygmea, Trochus
Grenlandicus, and Pleurotoma pyramidalis, species which sufficiently establish the general
arctic character of the deposit.
The same clay has also been found in the banks of a small burn to the north of the
Pass of Balmaha.
A shell-bed of a more recent character occurs on the Loch side, in a little creek at
Rossaden, near Luss, which must not be confounded with this older arctic clay. It is
one to two feet under the ordinary level of the Loch. The clay is of a whitish colour,
and has a strong peaty smell. It is very pure, containing only a small percentage of
sand. ‘The shells are abundant, but exceedingly friable. J/ytilus edulis and Hydrobia
ulve are the most abundant ; Littorina is moderately common; and Zellina Balthica
is represented by a few valves. All these species can endure a certain admixture of fresh
water with the sea. A few Foraminifera occur of similar habitat, but no Ostracoda.
Height above the sea twenty feet.

11. Garvet Park New Dock, Greenock.
The dock, in the construction of which the fossiliferous deposit was found, runs very nearly
parallel with the Clyde, and was cut through a slightly inclined bank of compact Boulder
Clay about sixty yards from the shore. The bottom of the section is forty feet beneath
the surface. The first ten or fifteen feet are crowded with large boulders, many of them
striated on one or more sides. ‘Towards the bottom boulders of large size are fewer, one
only being seen here and there; but the clay is closely packed with small pebbles, few of
them exceeding an inch in diameter. The great majority of the larger boulders are sand-
stones from the immediate neighbourhood, the remainder being of quartz, mica-schist,
&c., from the Argyleshire mountains to the north-west. The blocks derived from
a distance not unfrequently show much cross striation. The Boulder Clay is of such
stiff consistence that gunpowder has comparatively small effect upon it.
The deep section of the dock is about 500 feet in length, and the colour of the clay
varies, the junction of grey and reddish-brown clays at some points being very decidedly
marked both vertically and horizontally. At one place the red clay, in the form of an
obtuse inverted cone, reaches nearly to the bottom of the section; and this fact accounts
for the irregular position of the red and grey clays as described in the ‘journal of the
bores.” ‘The reddish colour of the Boulder Clay is, without doubt, due to a large
admixture of the soft Old Red Sandstone of this portion of the coast.
AA, POST-TERTIARY ENTOMOSTRACA.
A sample of the red Boulder Clay taken from a depth of fourteen feet consisted of
76 per cent. fine mud, 10 per cent. sand, 14 per cent. gravel or small pebbles.
A sample of the grey Boulder Clay taken from a depth of thirty feet consisted of 56 per
cent. fine mud, 9 per cent. sand, 35 per cent. small gravel.
In the upper red Boulder Clay the West Highland rocks, entering into its composition,
constitute less than one third, while in the lower division of the grey Boulder Clay at the
depth of thirty feet they form more than half of the bulk.
The bores made preparatory to the construction of the dock extended over a radius of
about 600 feet, and displayed many irregularities in the succession of the two distinctly
marked Boulder Clays.
The following plan and journal of bores will illustrate the disturbed and
nature of the old Boulder Clay base of many shell-beds.

Looking at these forty bores, and confining ourselves to the clays only, which vary
from nine to thirty-eight feet in thickness—in nineteen of these what is termed “light
till” (grey unstratified clay) is only met with.
In six bores what is termed red till
(reddish unstratified clay) is only met with. In other six both occur, and the light-coloured
till overlies the red.
In three the red overlies the light, while in the remaining six the
clays alternate variously. For example, taking them in the ascending order, in one bore,
No. 26, light till, three feet; red till, three feet ; light till, thirty-three feet.
No. 80, red till, five feet ; light till, thirteen feet; red till, ten feet.

Three of the bores, lying between the dock and the highway, have the addition of
what is termed yellow clay.
till, two feet; red till, three feet ; light till, thirteen feet ; yellow till, seven feet.
Taking them in the same order as above, No. 35 has light
POST-TERTIARY FOSSILIFEROUS DEPOSITS. A7
In another, No. 4a, light till, eighteen feet ; yellow clay, five feet. Again, in No. 5a,
red till, three feet ; grey till, five feet ; yellow till, four feet.
In all these bores, some of which extend two hundred feet beyond low water, the same
varieties of Boulder Clay have been met with in varying proportions.
In bore No. 8, sixty yards beyond low water, eighteen feet of sand and shells overlie
the red till; but we cannot learn whether the shells belong to the glacial or recent
period.
About the same distance beyond low water, No. 12, twenty-seven feet of sand over-
lies light till; another bore, about half-way between this and low water, No. 13, gives
twenty feet light till.
The fossiliferous clay lies in a trough or oblong hollow in the Boulder Clay, crossing
the longitudinal section of the dock, and shallowing at both ends. On the south it
terminates near the surface about two hundred yards west of Garvel Park House, and
on the north, at the embankment near the surface, close to the Clyde.
The length of the trough is about three hundred feet, its breadth twenty-four feet, and
its depth, near the middle, fourteen feet. This trough is filled with a remarkable
fossiliferous clay, crowded with Post-tertiary Mollusca and other marine organisms, which,
like those found in other “‘ Clyde beds,” are of arctic type.
The natural character. of this deposit was at first suspected because of (1) the
disorderly manner in which the shells are distributed, and (2) the soft loose state of the
lay in which they are embedded, which resembles material that has been roughly drifted
rather than regularly deposited. We have come, however, to the conclusion that these
shells lived and died where they are now found.
With regard to the apparent disorder in which they lay, it is well known that where
Mollusca congregate, dead shells often preponderate largely over the living; and that a
great number of the shells in this deposit were accumulated as dead shells is evident from
the numerous valves having their internal surfaces grown over with marine organisms.
Although, on a cursory view, they look as if tossed about, and promiscuously heaped
together, yet, on closer examination, this irregular appearance seems to arise chiefly from
the presence of so many large valves of dead shells; and, taking the general arrangement,
they alternate very distinctly in layers.
The loose state of the soft clay may be explained in the following way :
This fossiliferous deposit unquestionably rests in a hollow or trough formed
in the Boulder Clay. The open shelly clay of the deposit would take in more
water from the surface than the stiff compact clay on which it reposes could
withdraw, and an excess of water, accordingly, would be retained in the trough. When
this was cut through at the deepest part by the excavation of the dock, and the super-
fluous moisture to some extent drained off, the deposit would naturally be brought much
to its existing state.
Similar cases are by no means uncommon. In uncultivated moorlands, our footing is

often msecure, owing to impermeable hollows filled with silt or other porous material,
and grown over with turf, which may remain in this state indefinitely, while the
surface continues to supply the water, and the basin to retain it. Such conditions
are well known to agriculturists, whose skill is exerted in discovering how they can best
draw off the imprisoned water which impedes the fertility of their lands over particular
areas.
The Boulder Clay, it may be added, is softer at the bottom of the trough immediately
under the laminated clay than at a greater depth, doubtless owing to contact with the
moister clay above.
There are facts, moreover, which cannot be reconciled with any mere drifting
agencies.
1. The large boulders embedded in the shelly deposit. Many of these had marine
organisms attached to them, and were not less than half a ton in weight.
Even with modern appliances one of these large blocks could not (the contractors
informed us) be removed without blasting, and not one of them when uncovered had the
slightest mark of a mallet or bore of a blast upon it.
2. Had the fossiliferous material been dug up from one place and carried to another
by human agency, unmistakeable tool-marks, cuts, and indentations of pike and shovel,
would have been visible on the shells in their crowded condition ; but not a single mark
of this kind has been found.
3. Although the great mass of the shelly deposit les in some apparent disorder, the
under portions of it are distinctly laminated. Resting on the Boulder Clay there is an
unevenly thin bed of reddish-brown clay, made up of very fine layers. Overlying this is
a layer of whitish clay, about six inches thick, which is again covered by a layer of light
grey clay, about one inch thick: These layers can be traced over the bed and up both
sides of the trough, and it is impossible that sediment washed down through the loose
materials above, as has been supposed, could have been accumulated in this mamner.
Again, had the layers been the immediate washings of the upper material, they would
have been similar in colour and composition; but all three differed largely from the
overlying clays, as well as amongst themselves in colour, constitution, and fossil
contents.
The thin light-grey layer lying between the whitish six-inch layer and coarser shell-clay
above contains one Polyzoon (Ldmonea fenestrata, Busk) far more abundantly than we have
found it elsewhere in the section. In this thin layer also occur the asbestos-like fibres of
the shell of the common Mussel (A/ytilus edulis), of which we have not found a vestige in
the overlying clays. The six-inch stratum of whitish clay is, when dry, of an extremely
friable character, and very like a stratum of clay met with in some of the Paisley brick-fields,
and at Jordan Hill, in the same relative position; and the reddish-brown clay underlying
this corresponds with the thinly laminated clays frequently found at the base of the fossili-
ferous clays of the Clyde district. Further, these underlying strata all contain organisms
POST-TERTIARY FOSSILIFEROUS DEPOSITS. A9
of marine and arctic character, without the least admixture of those decided brackish-
water forms so common in the present neighbouring lagoons of the Clyde.
4. At the south end of the hollow, lying between the shell-clay and the upper mould,
a bed of brown clay is disclosed two feet in thickness which has never been disturbed
since its original deposition.
As all these circumstances are incompatible with the supposition that this deposit has
been interfered with by human agency, they are equally so with the theory that it has
been drifted from any near or distant locality by the action of ice. The fossils bear no
trace, moreover, of having been in any way rolled or crushed, as they would infallibly have
been from such a cause.
Traces of a thin irregular bed of small shells have been seen near the surface along
the south-east side of the dock ; and about one hundred yards from this, in an easterly
direction, another shelly deposit, belonging to the same series, has been exposed on the
side of a sandstone quarry, where the shells and other organisms, though fewer in
number and variety of species and different in their proportions, are similar in character
to those we have described.
Another shell-bed, also of Arctic type, has been brought to light in making a channel
way to the west end of the dock, rather below half-tide. That these beds at one time
were all connected is highly probable; but there appears no evidence that any of them
were ever covered by the Boulder Clay.
At first sight the deposit in the hollow, indeed, seems to dip under the Boulder Clay,
but on further examination it is clearly seen to thin out to the surface.
The whole Frith of Clyde on both sides is patched with beds of laminated
fossiliferous clay, which, doubtless, at one time covered the bottom from side to side,
and reached the various heights on which we find their remains above the level of the
sea. The whole deposit has evidently suffered much since it was first laid down, from
currents, changes of level, and other causes.
The clays are generally found cut away between low tide and high-water mark,
where the abrading power of the water is greatest. Examples may be seen at Langbank,
Helensburgh, Roseneath, Fairlie, Cumbrae, &c. In these localities the truncated edges
of the fossiliferous clays are exposed to view here and there in the more sheltered hollows
along the tidal belt.
The trough at Cartsdyke has, doubtless, been separated from the deposit existing
close by, near low-water-mark, by the agencies determining the distribution of the beds
through the whole Frith.
The Cartsdyke deposit is remarkable, not only for its puzzling appearance, but
for the great abundance and diversity of organisms found crowded within its narrow
hinits.
The dry fossiliferous clay consists of 76 per cent. fine mud; 19 per cent. fine and
coarse sand; 5 per cent. gravel and shell déd7vs.
7
50 POST-TERTIARY ENTOMOSTRACA.
The gravel has chiefly been derived from the sandstones of the neighbourhood, with
fragments of quartz and mica-schist, and the greater portion is less or more water-worn
and striated.
In our list of Mollusca sixty-one species and seven varieties have been identified.
The two prevailing shells are Pecten Islandicus and Mytilus modiolus, but perhaps the
shell of most geological interest in this deposit is Pecten maximus, as it has been
considered doubtful whether it lived at the same time in the Clyde beds with Pecten
Islandicus or at a subsequent period. Questions have been raised regarding P. maximus,
which show the necessity of extreme care in cataloguing supposed “ glacial” fossils of
any description.
It is very doubtful, indeed, whether P. maximus belongs to the group of shells
found in the true glacial clays.
1. It is not uncommon as a living species in the Frith of Clyde, and its valves abound
in the upper silts and raised beaches, and specimens really belonging to the younger beds
may have been accidentally mingled with the older fossiliferous deposits beneath. From
such mixtures catalogues of species from the “ Clyde beds” have often been augmented.
2. There is a Pecten maximus bed (presently to be described) immediately in contact
in some localities with the older Arctic shell-clays on which it rests.
3. Balani have never been found attached to P. maximus, yet in the glacial beds
they are common on P. Jslandicus; and as B. porcatus and B. crenatus (which are
remarkably large and abundant in the Arctic clays) do not seem at all fastidious in
their choice of attachment, whether to a stone or shell, we may reasonably infer that
most of the shells of P. maximus found in the Clyde beds were not cohabitants with
P. Islandicus.
4, With the exception of the one valve met with at Cartsdyke, P. maximus has
only been found in beds between high and low water which have been greatly disturbed
and re-arranged again and again by storm and tide.
This argument regarding P. maximus has been given to show the necessity of great
caution in making deductions regarding the percentage and range of species generally in
the whole series of glacial beds. Whether such deductions are made from the Ostracoda
or the Mollusca, the same argument applies with equal force.

The bed occurs at a distance of 200 yards from the shore, measuring from high-

On parts of the flat of slightly elevated ground, on which the excavation was made,
beds of Nullipore, which is not now found in the neighbouring bay, are met with
forming part of an old sea-beach and covered by a few inches of mould.
The shell-bed contains a large proportion of sand. Taking seven and a half pounds
of the dried material, only ten ounces washed away through a sieve of 96 threads
to the inch, leaving six pounds fourteen ounces residue. Of this residue one pound
is composed of gravel and broken shells, retained in a sieve of g-in. mesh. The
fragments of rock are sandstone, quartz, trap, and mica-schist, the larger pieces being
mostly water-worn, while the smaller are generally angular or partially rounded. Some

Passing over ¢ and d, it is in the stratum of muddy sand (c) that the shells occur ;
and they are more abundant towards the bottom than near the top.
The prevailing shells of this deposit are Zellina calcarea, Avinus flecuosus, Scrobicularia
prismatica, Cyprina Islandica, Mya truncata, and Utriculus obtusus. Most of these reach
a size rather above the average of those met with in the Clyde beds generally. They are-
all abundant, from the fry up to the adult forms, showing, as regards this deposit, that
the conditions for all stages of growth of these various species had been exceedingly
favorable.
The majority of the My@ were found to have both valves preserved, together with
remains of their siphons in position within the shells. This sandy material seems to be
favorable for the preservation of this portion of the animal tissue. Siphons have been
met with in the soft clay of other localities, but rarely.
A number of the valves of Mya truncata have thick patches of the muddy sand in
which they are imbedded indurated on their inner surface so firmly as not to be removed
even by boiling water. Similar hard clays are occasionally found in shells taken from
other Post-tertiary deposits. TheSe patches generally do not extend over the whole
interior of the shell, but are confined to a particular spot. Sometimes we have
met with hard nodules of clay which, when broken, disclose a cluster of small shells
embedded within, much like the well-known clay nodules enclosing shells or fish-remains
in other formations.
These indurated patches of sand and clay within the shells, and those enclosing
shells, as well as the clay-nodules found in many of our brick-clays, that have no apparent
organic nucleus, have all, so far as we have examined, a strong calcareous base, while the
clays in which they are embedded have none.
The grey-coloured laminated clay (4) is formed into layers by thin bands of red sand,
which are thicker and more distinct as they approach the bottom, where the clay between
them is again divided into exceedingly thin layers. From three pounds of this laminated
POST-TERTIARY FOSSILIFEROUS DEPOSITS. 55
‘clay we obtained an oval plate of an Zchinus, three valves of Cytherura Sarsii, twelve
specimens of Wonionina depressula, and three of Polystomella striato-punctata.
_A much larger portion from the same stratum had previously been examined without
finding a vestige of animal remains, showing how unsafe it is to pronounce any deposit
unfossiliferous from one trial, inasmuch as organisms may not be equally distributed
through all parts of the same stratum.
The shell-bearing clay consists of 32 per cent. fine mud ; 68 per cent. fine sand.
The laminated clay when dry is of a lightish drab colour, and consists of 962 per cent.
fine mud, 4 per cent. fine sand, with occasionally small pebbles less than the size of a
‘common pea.
The Boulder Clay, which is very unevenly distributed, and at some places rises up in
knolls through the grey clay and nearly reaches the muddy sand layer above, when dry
consists of 51 per cent. fine mud, 28 per cent. fine and coarse sand, 21 per cent.

14. Kytzs or Bore.
1. Ligh-na-bruaich—Walking along the shore, and proceeding from high-tide-mark
to low, the following series of beds is passed over :
(1.) Boulder Clay, hard, compact, unfossiliferous. It is red in colour through the.
ferrugious character of the mica-schist of which the included boulders largely consist,
and which constitutes the base rock on which it rests.
(2.) Laminated clay, remarkable for the decisiveness and freedom of its laminations
and of the same character as that described in other beds.
(3.) Shell-clay, rich in characteristic Arctic shells. This bed is composed of clay and
sand mixed in various proportions at different points. At some points a pure sand, at
others a pure clay, is found, and there are all possible intermediate varieties.
To the left of the pier, covered with one to two feet of sand, is an extensive bed of
Pecten Islandicus, the shells having both valves united, and being in their natural
position.
Saxicava (Panopea) Norvegica with Mya truncata, var. Uddevallensis, also occur in a
thick clay, adjoining the sand, of large size, standing in their natural boring position.
Astarte compressa and A. sulcata can be picked out from the clay also with united valves,
and large valves of 4. dorealis may also be found.
To some of the boulders imbedded in the clay large specimens of Balanus porcatus
are attached.
The true order of these beds is the reverse of the order in which they are passed over
in walking from high- to low-tide-mark. The action of the sea has swept away the
upper parts of the beds; and since the denudation has been most complete where the
waves have broken upon the shore, the lowest bed (the Boulder Clay) is the most exposed
at that point; the middle bed (the laminated clay) is still less exposed ; and the upper bed
(the shell-clay) is the least exposed of the whole series. This order is invariable through
the whole length of the Kyles, although one or other of the beds is occasionally absent.
Fossils might appear at first sight to be in the Boulder Clay when they really occur at
points where the fossiliferous bed is in immediate contact with it, the laminated clay
being absent.
On the Bute shore, immediately opposite Tigh-na-bruaich, the same beds are visible
POST-TERTIARY FOSSILIFEROUS DEPOSITS. 57
wherever any jutting point has saved them from denudation. In some places a bed of
Mya truncata runs under the turf, and is above high-tide-mark, while the Boulder Clay is
seen beneath it, the shell-bed having been more perfectly protected than on the opposite
side of the water; Sazicava Norvegica of very large size is in siti, and any lump of clay
yields numerous examples of Zeddina calcarea.
2. Balnakeaile Bay—In this bay, which is almost directly opposite to Colintraive
Pier, the glacial beds have been well preserved; they are cut through by a small stream
which discharges itself into the sea in the middle of the bay, and exposes the clay with
characteristic Arctic species 2m siti. On the left of the stream the shell-bed extends
under a bank of sand and gravel, rising to a height of twenty feet; and it also crops
out in the wood, a quarter of a mile inland, on the same side of the stream. The
nature of the matrix in which the shells are found varies from a loose sand to a
tenacious clay.
Following the Rothesay Road, in a slight bend of the Kyles opposite the first farm-
house, the shell-bed has been found in great perfection. It is now almost washed away,
but a few years ago the remains of an Arctic fauna were multitudinous. <A bed of Pecten
Islandicus existed and many of the specimens had Balanus porcatus attached to their
upper valves ; B. porcatus adhered also to large boulders on the shore. In those beds we
have also found Balanus cariosus (Darwin) and Modiolaria nigra ; and Sawxicava Norvegica
was in great perfection. The beds occur in the same order as at Tigh-na-bruaich, and
the shell-bed extends from high-tide-mark towards the sea, at about half-tide being at
its thickest. Before it can be well seen a foot or more of sand and gravel must be
removed. Collections made from the mere surface dédris are worthless, since they will
be found to contain Arctic, raised-beach, and recent species intermixed in inextricable
confusion.
3. Lttrick Bay.—This bay on the Bute shore, near the westerly entrance to the Kyles,
is so completely covered with sand as to obscure the separate beds. It is noteworthy,
however, as the locality in which Astarte borealis may be found in great abundance,
generally in-single valves, although we have obtained a perfect specimen.

15. East Tarsert, Locu Fine.
On the north side of the Tarbert Loch, at the north-east corner, a small stream,
called the Black Burn, cuts into a bed of clay containing Arctic shells, which can be
traced from twelve to fifteen feet above high-water mark.
The shell-bearing clay is of a light grey colour and lies at an incline of one foot in
ten. It is overlaid by five or six feet of brown stony mould washed down from the
hillside. In washing through a sieve of 96 meshes to the inch, 100 parts of the
dry material lost thirty, while ten parts of the residue were retained in a sieve of
g-inch mesh and consisted of coarse gravel; the other sixty parts were composed of fine
gravel and sand. ‘The presence of water-worn specimens of species, natives of different
habitats, raises a suspicion that they may have been brought after death from greater
or less distances; although some specimens which have their colour and epidermis
preserved are evidently on the ground on which they lived.
POST-TERTIARY FOSSILIFEROUS DEPOSITS. 59
Trochus helicinus is remarkably prevalent, and in no one of the glacial beds we have
examined has it been found so abundantly as in this locality.
Sawicava rugosa is next in abundance, and the var. arctica appears, although not of
marked size, few specimens reaching an inch. Portions of the epidermis are preserved.
A few fragments of Mya truncata are met with covered with fresh epidermis, and,
therefore, evidently washed from a near part of the bed where they must be zz siti.
Littorina litorea, L. obtusata, and L. timata (which are all very scarce, especially
L. limata) are imperfect and water-worn.
There is one curious circumstance characteristic of these local groupings, in which
the facts connected with the fossils coincide with those connected with recent deposits,
and which it is important for the geologist to consider when collecting paleontological
evidence regarding the ages of the beds. Almost all the deposits have their peculiarly
prevalent species. A rare species in one bed may be abundant in another, belonging to
precisely the same age.
In the East Tarbert bed Pseudocythere caudata, of Sars, is moderately common.
It is recorded as rare between tide marks in the Channel Islands; rare in England,
Scotland, Ireland, and Norway in deep water; and it is also rare in the glacial clays.
Cythere emarginata (Sars), a still rarer species, is met with in the same bed ; male
and female specimens bemg moderately common.
This species has been found living only in one or two localities in the British seas,
and there very sparingly.
Height above the sea twelve to fifteen feet.

16. West TarBErt.
For a considerable distance along the Loch on the south side, a little beyond where
the new road begins near the head of the Loch, a fossiliferous clay crops out, in some
places abutting against the native rock to which Balani and Serpule may be seen
adhering in great abundance.
A little further down the Loch, where the rocks stand out more steeply into the sea,
the shell-bearing clay disappears, but it is seen again in the course of about a mile, resting
against the rock on the west side of the bay. Considerable denudation has, therefore,
taken place.
Many parts of the true bed are overlain by eight or ten inches of a shell dédris
thickly mixed with clay. This covering is undoubtedly a wash thrown up in heavy
storms and is coated with grass. Many of the shells in the lower clay, especially
Pecten Islandicus and Buccinum undatum, have attained a portly size, evidencing their
growth under secure and favorable conditions.
One hundred parts of the dry clay lost 66 per cent. in washing through a sieve of
96 meshes to the inch; 16 parts of the residue were retained in a sieve of $th-inch mesh,
consisting of small gravel and broken shells; the other 18 parts were composed of fine
sand.

17. Locu Gitp.
The burn in the excavated banks of which the shell-clay is found begins in the
marshy ground west of Baden farm-head. When this burn was deepened shell-bearing
deposits were brought to view at several points along its course, variously overlain by
gravel, peat, and surface-soil, to the depth of five to ten feet.
Directly beneath the shell-clay is the Boulder Clay, with the following characteristics :
1. It is very hard and compact, and tinged with the bluish hue of the surrounding
trap-rocks.
2. It is exceedingly irregular in thickness, and curves violently within a few yards.
3. The boulders are chiefly schist and greenstone, and very far-travelled ; they are finely
striated, smoothed, and polished.
4. It does not contain the slightest vestige of a shell.
This Boulder Clay rests upon greenstone rock, striated in horizontal or partly dipping
grooves.
It is not succeeded by the usual laminated clay of the Clyde beds. A remarkable
shell-bed rests immediately upon the Boulder Clay.
The line of junction between the shell-bed and Boulder Clay is sharp and well defined,
“There is no merging of the shell-bed into Boulder Clay, and no gradual transition. The
separation is sharp, and in every way decisive.
Scarcely at any two places where the shells appear is the composition of the deposit
alike. Some portions lose by washing about 10 per cent. and others about 60 per
cent.
In some parts there is a thick blue clay; in others, a mixture of clay and sand,
varying from a sandy clay to a clayey sand.
a
62 POST-TERTIARY ENTOMOSTRACA.
On the north side of the burn blue clay is overlain by about a foot of gravelly
clay, with boulders of various sizes thickly interspersed, not unlike a shore shingle. In
this gravelly clay Mya truncata is exceedingly plentiful im its natural boring position,
with both valves united, It also occurs in the underlying blue clay, more than a foot
and a half lower down.
The burrow of this Mollusc, however, never exceeds half that depth, and consequently
the Mya of the upper bed could not have been contemporaneous with the Mya of the
lower ; and we have the record of successive generations.
The fauna of the shell-bed is most abundant; but the grouping of the shells, like the
composition of the deposit, varies at different points. At one spot Mya truncata abounds,
the shells being thickly packed in a sandy matrix, and in many cases having their
syphons preserved. At another, this shell is absent, and Saaicava rugosa stands in its
natural position, and Astarte borealis is found with united valves. The smaller shells,
and even the Entomostraca, equally vary in grouping at different points. We have, in
fact, all those local varieties of Aaditat characterising a sea-bottom. There is no sign of
any confused sweeping of one part into another. .
The occurrence of the shell-bed in patches may be due either to the irregular
character of the surface over which the shell-bearing deposit is spread, or to abrasion
from above. ,
Of the former, there are good illustrations in many of the brickfields near Paisley
in which knolls of Boulder Clay rise up through the laminated clay and at some places
reach the surface. Of the latter, there is a good instance on the shore at high-water
mark, a little east of Helensburgh, where a patch of shell-bearing clay lies in a rent or
gully of Boulder Clay and has been worn down to a level with the beach.
At one point in the Loch Gilp sections the shell-bed dips under the stream, which is
literally paved with Mya truncata in a boring position.
A few boulders are scattered through the shell-bed; but grooved and polished
specimens are not as abundant among them as they are in the clay beneath, although
they occasionally occur. The change is almost as great from striated to unstriated
imbedded stones, as from the absence of a fauna to its abundant development.
The boulders in the shell-bed are often covered with Serpu/e, and evidently, there-
fore, must have been stationary during a certain period. They are small in size
compared with those in the clay beneath.
Above the shell-bed in one locality is a patch of fine sand (two to three feet)
destitute of organic remains, and this is succeeded by a bed of about the same depth of
ferruginous gravel. The whole of these deposits, however, vary in thickness at different
points. In some places the sand thins out, in others the gravel disappears and a bed of
mere surface-soil covers the shells.
The complete section is :

18. Crinan.
This bed was opened by a cutting made to lead off the water from the high level on
a small plateau at the north side of No. 11 Lock on the Crinan Canal.
A few feet only of the clay are exposed, and the shell-bearing portion is a thin
stratum, in which broken shells, Ba/ani plates, and spines of Hchini are seen sparsely
scattered. The shells are of Arctic species, including Astarte borealis, Tellina calcarea,
Pleurotoma pyramidalis, and Velutina levigata, but so fragmentary as to be deter-
minable with difficulty. The Balani—B. crenatus, B. porcatus, and Verruca Stroemir
—are more abundant and less broken, but of small size.
The clay is reddish-brown and loses 66 per cent. in washing.

19. Duntroon.
This deposit occurs a little to the south of Duntroon Castle and comes to the surface
at about high-water-mark. By clearing away a slight covering of gravelly sand a stiff
brown clay is reached, containing many of the typical Arctic species of this series of
beds in abundance.
Pleurotoma pyramidalis is particularly plentiful.
The clay when dry imbibes the water very slowly, pieces from three to four inches
in diameter taking nearly twenty-four hours to dissolve; nevertheless, it passes easily
through the sieve and washes rapidly, losing 83 per cent. in the operation.
Height above the sea, just above high-water-mark.

20. Dyrr’s Burn, Fort WILitaM.
A section has been exposed by this burn, about half a mile from Fort William, a
little above the bridge.
A brief account of this bed, with a complete list of its fauna, has been given by
Mr. J. Gwyn Jeffreys in the ‘Transactions of the British Association for the Advancement
of Science’ for 1862.
We observed the following particulars :
Upon the schistose rock of the locality (over which the stream pours) rests a bed of
hard and stony clay.
a. The lower part of this clay is crowded with fossils, which are intermixed with
stones and pebbles of schist. To some of the stones Balani are attached.
6. The upper part of the clay contains some angular blocks with many stones
confusedly massed together, which have the appearance of having been
thrown down upon the shell-bed, possibly while it was in the process of
elevation.
The clay is about five to six feet deep, and in the lower foot the fossils are most
abundant.
On the neighbouring hillside two beds of coarse gravel and shingle may be seen ;
the one, about forty feet above the sea, representing an old coast-line, the other, about
twenty-five feet above the sea, representing a more recent coast-line.
Among the Mollusca included in the shell-clay are Colwmbella Holbolliu, Littorina
limata, Margarita Grenlandica, &c. Mr. Jeffreys considers the whole group, however,
Scandinavian rather than Arctic.
Height above the sea nine feet.

21. Lucknow Pir, Arprrr [Tron-works, AYRSHIRE.
Although we could obtain no material from this pit to examine for Ostracoda, it is of
importance to record the section as illustrating the existence of a younger fossiliferous
bed (represented by the Pecten maximus bed in the Kyles of Bute and the Irvine water
bed presently to be described) resting upon an older Arctic bed.
‘The section obtained during the sinking of the pit was the following :

Moss . & 1's
Sand. ; 26 16
Shell-mud, or blue loamy sand 640

Sandstone rock .
The shells brought to the surface belonged to two entirely different groups. The one
group was eminently Arctic, including Leda arctica, Astarte borealis, Tellina calcarea,
Natica affinis (clausa).
The other group embraced a numerous collection of species precisely similar to those
found in the post-glacial bed in Irvine water. In this group Ostrea edulis is abundant
and associated with Cardium edule, C. Norvegicum, C. echinatum, Tapes pullastra,
T. decussata, Lutraria elliptica, Pecten opercularis, Trochus magnus.

such an extremely Arctic type as Leda arctica, which is covered with its epidermis and
is associated with LZ. pygmea and L. pernula.
The shell-clay consists of 92 per cent. fine mud, 6 per cent. sand, 2 per cent. small
gravel,

93. TrraLty Brick-works, Fourteen Mines FROM STRANRAER, ON THE SOUTH-EAST
oF THE MuLi oF GALLOWAY.
This deposit is of the same general character as at Cleshmahew’s except that the
undermost bed retains the water instead of being porous. It is also remarkable for the
prevalence of a highly Arctic fauna.
Leda arctica (Torell) is associated with L. pygmea.
The shell-clay consists of 97 per cent. fine mud, 2 per cent. of sand, and 1 per cent.
of gravel.
Height above the sea forty-five feet.

Cypris gibba, Ramdohr.
Cythere limicola (Norman).
Limnicythere antiqua, n. sp.
Cytheridea papillosa, Bosquet.

Cytherura undata, G. O. Sars.
24. Port Logan C.uiFrs.
Port Logan cliffs are about one mile from Terally on the opposite side of the Mull.
The shell-clay restsAmmediately on the rock, and rises to the height of twenty feet. It is
very stiff, and is overlain by a few feet of gravel.
The dry clay consists of 50 per cent. of fine mud, 46 of sand, and 4 of rounded and
well polished gravel.
‘The shells are fragmentary and water-worn; they are scattered over the whole face
of the deposit, and not confined to any particular layer in the section, as we see them in
those sections where they have lived and died.
Only three species of Mollusca could be determined, viz. Astarte sulcata, Leda pernula,
70 POST-TERTIARY ENTOMOSTRACA.
and LZ. pyymea, with one of Ostracoda, viz. Cytheridea punctillata, Brady, which was a
perfect specimen with united valves.
25. Dippte Tite-worxs, Turee Mites East or Girvan.
The clay in this deposit is remarkable for the character of its fauna, as showing a
direct passage from marine through estuarine to freshwater conditions.
Freshwater, brackish, and marine forms are not mixed up promiscuously together
from bottom to top, but the fauna is nearly pure marine at the bottom, brackish in the
middle, and almost entirely freshwater at the surface. ‘Three samples of the clay were
examined.
The uppermost part, between six and nine feet below the surface, is distinctly
laminated, and of a dark mottled appearance. Together with some vegetable remains it
contains a great abundance of the chitinous parts of Daphniadz and Lynceide, various
forms of Cypridee, and other genera and species which have a greater or less aptitude for
existence in brackish water, such as Limnicythere inopinata, Loxoconcha tamarindus, and
Cythere tenera.
Some shell fragments are associated with the Ostracoda,—possibly of Mytilus edulis,
which can exist at high-water-mark, and would be lifted up with the sea-bottom when it
was placed in a position to become a freshwater pool.
Under this freshwater clay we find four feet of clay of a uniform grey colour, in
which the brackish water forms are very largely developed. A few freshwater species
occur, such as Spherium corneum and Cypris gibba; but brackish water forms, such as
Cythere castanea (which is very abundant), greatly prevail. The appearance of Utriculus
obtusus and Homalogyra atomus also shows that the clay is beginning to assume a more
decidedly marine character.
In the succeeding three feet of clay the freshwater and brackish organisms have
almost disappeared, and the Mollusca are far more numerous, both in species and indi-
viduals, than in any of the overlying strata. ‘Taking them in the prevailing order, they
are :
Homalogyra atomus : : . Very common.
Rissoa striata : . Moderately common.
Utriculus obtusus . Moderately common.
Leda pygmea . . Moderately rare.
Avinus flexuosus : . Three valves.

96. Erron, PERTHSHIRE.
On the north side of the River Tay, eight miles east from Perth, a clay is exposed
remarkable for the intensely Arctic character of its fossils.
1. Its surface is covered by the estuarine mud of the Tay.
2. The deposit of clay itself occupies a small oval trough about one mile in length —
72 POST-TERTIARY ENTOMOSTRACA.
and a quarter of a mile in breadth, and the clay is at its extreme point twenty-five feet
deep.
3. The lower part of the clay is distinctly laminated, as in the Paisley and other
beds, and is far more sandy than the upper clay, becoming, indeed, the workmen informed
us, a sand bed at its deepest point.
4. The trough in which the fossiliferous clay is packed is a hollow in the Boulder
Clay, which crops out on neighbouring elevations.
The shells are met with at all points from the bottom to near the surface, but are
most abundant (as in the Paisley beds) in the lower part of the clay.
Nothing can be more striking than the general physical conformity between the
section at Errol, when fully exposed, and a good typical section in the neighbourhood of
Paisley.
The Errol clay contains certain species, either absent or extremely scarce in the
west, mixed with others entirely identical; and the high northern character of these
peculiar species may either indicate a slight precedence in time on the part of the eastern
beds and the consequent prevalence of a sterner climate; or it may (as is far more pro-
bable) be explained by local peculiarities of depth and exposure. The remarkable conformity
between the two series of clays in their sequences and characteristics, unmistakeably
proves, however, that they must have been formed by the exercise of the same physical
forces acting under the same conditions and with similar degrees of intensity and power.
The whole of the Mollusca found, specially in the eastern fossil beds, range within the
Arctic circle and off the east coast of North America, and do not live off the coast of Great
Britain ; and although the percentage of species collected in the several beds must always
be shifting with fresh discoveries, there seems no doubt that in such glacial clays as those
of Errol on the east of Scotland, as compared with those upon the west, there is a pre-
ponderance of Arctic and North-east-American forms.
The following species of an extremely Arctic character have not yet been found in
the west:—Crenella faba, Leda limatula, Mesalina erosa, Mesalia reticulata, Thracia
MYOpsis.
Leda arctica is a characteristic fossil at Errol ; every lump of clay in some parts of the
pit is crowded with them. On the west it is extremely scarce. One specimen, evidently
fossil, was dredged by Mr. Jeffreys ; another was obtained from a sand bed (glacial) at
Stevenson; and a few specimens have been found in Cleshmahew’s Tile-works and
erally Brick-works, near Stranraer.
Pecten Grenlandicus is also far from uncommon at Errol; as yet only one young
specimen has been found in the west; and that in the bed beneath the Boulder Clay at
Tangy Glen.
Modiolaria discors, var. levigata, is also abundant at Errol, while only rare specimens
of the fry have been found in the west.
POST-TERTIARY FOSSILIFEROUS DEPOSITS. 73
The Ostracoda yield a kindred result.
In the fossiliferous clays of Errol such species as Cythere mirabilis, Cytheridea
Sorbyana, and Cytheropteron Montrosiense, occur with an abundance sufficient to be
characteristic, while they are exceedingly rare in the western beds.
The existence of an Arctic current on the east, such as that which now sweeps over
the Dogger Bank, might sufficiently account for the preponderance in question without
having recourse to any larger hypothesis.

On the coast of Fife, eleven miles from St. Andrews, and on the north side of the
bay in which the town of Elie is situated, there is an exposure of sandy clay, containing
a fauna kindred to that at Errol, and to which the same general remarks apply.
The beds occur in the following order :
1. Drift sand.
2. Gravel, variable in thickness.
3. Sandy clay, with Arctic fauna; about four feet being exposed above high-water

28. Dryteys, NEAR Montrose.
In the brickworks of Dryleys, near Montrose, a thick mass of clay is exposed which
reaches the height of 50 to 100 feet.
In the lower part of the mass especially fossils occur, and the presence of Leda
arctica, Pecten Grenlandicus, a large form of Saxicava rugosa, var. arctica, sufficiently
marks the character of the deposit.

This clay bed is of the same general character as that of Dryleys. It lies along the
estuary of the Tay, in a gully in the most recent of the raised sea-margins, which runs all
along the east coast, nearly a mile inland.
The shells indicate a decidedly arctic character; and amongst them are Mya truncata,
Nucula tenuis, Leda pernula, and Leda minuta, Hoploaster gracilis is not uncommon.

About seven miles east of Banff beds of fine sand and clay attain a height of
upwards of 300 feet.
At an elevation of about 150 feet in a thin seam of sand, shells occur of an Arctic
type, but the catalogues at present compiled do not show a group as intensely Arctic as
that at Errol and Elie.
The beds at Errol and Elie, however, are at a much lower elevation, and possibly
belonged to a deeper sea-bed during the period of the greatest submergence of the
land.

At Annochie, about five miles north of Peterhead, a bed of fine fossiliferous clay
occurs, passing immediately from the shore under the beach, thus occupying the same
position as many outcrops of clay along the Clyde. As in the corresponding Clyde
beds, such species as Azinus flexuosus, Leda pygmea, and Nucula tenuis are very
abundant.

B.—Arctic SHELL-BEDS.
Although we have grouped together in one class the sands and clays characterized by
an Arctic fauna, it does not necessarily follow that they belong to one period only of the
great Glacial Epoch.
In many of the periods (possibly marked by fluctuations in the intensity of
the climate) comprised within the epoch during which an Arctic climate prevailed and
disappeared, marine clays must have been depaeued and become the habitat of species
now relegated to the Arctic circle. |
78 POST-TERTIARY ENTOMOSTRACA.
Some of the beds must belong to the earlier, and some to the more recent portions of
the epoch.
In considering the effects of fluctuations of climate upon marine animals, we
must also take into account other modifying causes, such as depth of water, character of
the sea-bottom, supply of food, and the abundance or otherwise of the enemies of
particular species.
Without attempting to decide upon the special ages of the various Arctic deposits
examined for the purposes of this paper, we must have made evident the fact that many
differences exist between them.
J. The varying position of the Arctic shell-clays, with respect to the Boulder Clay,
has been described.
1. Some Arctic shell-clays are covered by masses of highly glaciated Boulder Clay.
2. Other Arctic shell-clays are intercalated between masses of Boulder Clay.
3. Other Arctic shell-clays rest upon the Boulder Clay, and not only are not covered
by it but are followed by a regular succession of beds, showing a very gradual change
from old marine to recent estuarine conditions, and entirely free from: any indications of
violent breaks,
a. Beds of this class are deposited in hollows of the Boulder Clay, and have thus been
formed subsequently to an extensive denudation of that material.
6. They contain large boulders, not derived from the Boulder Clay on which they
rest, but which have been dropped upon existing sea-bottoms full of marine life.
c. They enable us to trace the coming and going of the Arctic fauna by the
examination of the clays at the lower and upper parts of the same section, as was
indicated in an account of a Paisley pit.
d. They are often immediately succeeded by a Cardium edule bed of a modern period,
without any intervening Boulder Clay at all.
e. Sometimes the passage from marine through estuarine to freshwater beds can be
followed by examining samples of one bed of clay taken from different points in
the section,
An example of this was given from the tileworks near Girvan, Ayrshire.
II. Some Boulder Clays have themselves been distinguished as fossiliferous and as
bemg Arctic shell-bearing clays, although found under special circumstances.
III. The study of the special fauna of each bed reveals also distinctions between
them.
1. The shell-beds represent differences of depth, some being littoral and others
- deep sea.
POST-TERTIARY FOSSILIFEROUS DEPOSITS. 79
2. They contain sometimes a mixture of deep-sea and littoral species, evidencing the
action of tides and changing currents.
3. While in many beds the fossils occur iz s¢¢é, in others they are very much broken
and fragmentary.
4. The proportion of Arctic species varies in different beds.
IV. Some of the Arctic shell-beds mark coast-lines at varying heights—coast-lines
which could not have coexisted. The case of Jordan Hill, Glasgow, has been instanced,
where a littoral shell-bed exists sixty-three feet above the sea; while a similar littoral
shell-bed is met with on the low ground north of Paisley at about fifty feet lower
level.
V. The Arctic shell-beds exist at various heights above the sea. On the west of
Scotland the beds we have described range from 526 feet at Airdrie (the highest point at
which Arctic shells have yet been discovered in Scotland, although there is no reason to
conclude that they will not ultimately be found at higher levels) to half-tide-mark,
where, in some cases, they dip beneath the sea and are entirely hidden by modern sands
and gravels. At present there are blanks to be filled up between 526 feet (Airdrie) and a
group of beds between forty feet and sixty feet. Tangy Glen, Campbelton, is 130 feet ;
and, doubtless, other beds at a corresponding elevation await discovery.
Between forty feet and sixty feet we have such beds as those at Oakshaw Hill,
Paisley, Paisley and Glasgow Canal, Jordan Hill, Stranraer, &c.
Between twenty feet and forty feet such beds as those at Paisley (lower levels), Loch
Lomond, Loch Gilp, Crinan, &c.
Between ten feet and twenty feet, such beds as those at Greenock, Hast Tarbert,
Dumbarton, &c. .
Between high-tide-mark and ten feet, such beds as those at Kyles of Bute and
almost the whole shore of the Frith of Clyde, Fort William, &c.
On the east of Scotland, Arctic shell-beds have been found at the following heights :

The range of Aytilus edulis is given by Mr. J. Gwyn Jeffreys as ‘‘ From high-water
mark to the depth of a few fathoms.’? ‘The bed occurs in the lower part of some of
the Arctic deposits, and in the upper part of others.
The Mytilus edulis bed was found resting on the surface of a glacial clay, itself
covered by forty-two feet of Boulder Clay, on Oakshaw Hill, Paisley, sixty-four feet
above the mean sea-level. Dr. Fraser states that he has found a similar bed “ under
the late steeple at the Cross of Paisley, at a height of forty feet above the sea-level ;
another at the head of St. Mirren Street at thirty-two feet ; another in James’s Street
at twenty-three feet ; and another in Causey-side at a height of only twelve feet ; while
out in the plain, and nearer the Clyde, he had found a fringe of shells, seaweed, &c.,
which marked the tidal limit, subsequent, of course, to the time when the lowest of these
beds was formed.” ?
C.—Among the Post-tertiary fossiliferous beds of Scotland there is not only this vast
series of Arctic sands and clays (in themselves possibly marking various points in the
passage of a great epoch), BUT THERE IS ALSO A SERIES OF BEDS, OF LATER DATE AND NOT
IN ANY WAY ARCTIC IN CHARACTER, WHICH INDICATE THE STEPS THROUGH WHICH THE
PRESENT CLIMATE AND PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY OF SCOTLAND HAVE BEEN REACHED SINCE
THE FINAL RETREAT OF THE ICE.
During the complex conditions arising from the subsidence and emergence of the
land, it does not seem reasonable to suppose that the climate of Scotland was ameliorated
by unbroken stages. A season of less heat may have been followed by a season of
greater heat than even now exists, in its turn to be modified by the changed dis-
tribution alike of the currents of the waters and the respective areas of the land
and sea.
1. Some deposits, belonging to the class now under consideration, may, indeed, be quoted
as furnishing indications of a climate certainly far from Arctic, and possibly of a more
genial character than now prevails in Scotland.

3. Peat with remains of trees.
4. Carse-clay with bones of Whale.
5. Peat, with roots of oak trees at the bottom and remains of an old wooden road.
The peat (3) is described as a “‘land-surface of the period preceding the deposition
of the old estuarine mud,” and commented upon as follows—“ This bed of peat, lying
beneath the raised estuarine beds, is the first appearance of that substance we meet
with in Scotland; indeed the period during which peat was formed so extensively from
the gradual accumulation of mosses, sedges, and various other plants, is, perhaps, even a
stage later ; for at the bottom of many of our peat-mosses we find remains of trees and,
in some cases, beds of shell-marl. These trees are all of existing species now indigenous
to Scotland. The birch, hazel, and oak are amongst the most common, and hazel nuts
are frequently found. Now these trees testify, I think, fo a condition more favorable to
the growth of wood than what we have at present. They evidently preceded the com-
mencement of the peat in a multitude of instances, for their roots are spread on the hard
earthy soil beneath it, and it is since the death of those trees that many of our peat-
mosses date.” }
Evidence is also brought to show that the remains of trees are now found in Scotland
“at heights beyond where wood can now be got to grow.” ”
2. ConInTRAIvE, Kyues oF Bure.
Following the Loch Ridden Road on the Colintraive side of the Kyles of Bute, in a
small bay, about a quarter of a mile from the pier, a shell-bed is exposed at low-tide
which has been confounded with the true glacial clay, but which certainly belongs to a
very different age. In this deposit Pecten maximus and Ostrea edulis occur, of enormous
size, associated with Aporrhais pes-pelicani, Lutraria elliptica, Psammobia Ferroensis,
Lucinopsis undata, Tellina squalida, all British species, but constituting a group of shells
which could not now be obtained in the same abundance and perfection in the imme-
diately neighbouring waters of the Kyles.
It is true that the partial or total disappearance of shells on particular banks depends,
in a large measure, on local circumstances, which may be of comparatively recent
occurrence. It is not unusual when dredging to find banks, at various depths, covered
with old dead shells, without a living one of the same species among them. In the bay
at the head of West Tarbert Loch, a little below high-water, on digging through a foot of
sand, a bed of sandy mud was reached, with large specimens of Scrobicularia piperata,
’ Ibid., p. 186. 2 Tbid., p. 187.
1g)
82 POST-TERTIARY ENTOMOSTRACA.
although none are now found living in that locality, the destruction having been
evidently occasioned by a bank of sand having been thrown over the haunts of that
Mollusc during a violent storm. After every great storm, indeed, there is probably
some change in the habitats of the Mollusca.
The Pecten maximus bed at Colintraive, however, contains species which would require,
when living, a greater depth of water than they could have enjoyed in their present
situation.
It can be traced along the shore until it can be seen resting upon an old glacial
clay containing in abundance 7Ze/lina calcarea; and this, again, may be seen resting
on the laminated clay, and the laminated clay on the Boulder Clay, in regular descending
order.
It is evident that at the junction of the edge of the Pecten maximus bed with
the Arctic clay, it will be possible for ‘the contents of the two beds to be confused
together.
We have observed this same Pecten maximus bed cropping out in various districts.
It may be seen at dead low-water near Tigh-na-bruaich and at Kilchattan Bay, Bute.
At Fairlie (Ayrshire) it is largely developed, and, as at Colintraive, overlies the
Arctic shell-clay. The ground at Fairlie has been so often dug and re-dug by
collectors that the natural difficulties in the way of discriminating between the two beds
have been increased, and very little, if any, reliance can be placed upon the accuracy of
catalogues of so-called ‘ glacial fossils’ based upon specimens from that locality. Not
only specimens from the P. maximus bed, but recent specimens have been thrown
together in the dédris of the very numerous excavations which have been made, and
have thence made their way into collections and catalogues as belonging to the
“Clyde Beds.”
The Ostracoda found are a mixture from the various beds now described, species
from one deposit having been washed into another, so that it is not necessary to give a
separate catalogue of them.
3. IRvinE Water, AYRSHIRE.
On the Ayrshire coast, in the neighbourhood of Irvine, a fine sand similar to that now
edging the sea has been deposited and drifted inland to a considerable distance, rising in
a succession of slightly elevated knolls. Near the shore these knolls are most distinctly
marked, having been recently formed, and their loose material not having been driven
over the dividing gaps made by the wind. Inland their divisions have been to a great
extent obliterated by perpetual driftings, but excavations show the sand rising and falling
POST-TERTIARY FOSSILIFEROUS DEPOSITS. 83
at different heights, exactly as in the line of hillocks now fronting the sea. Following the
Irvine Water, at about two miles from the sea, a section of clay and sand beds was cut
out by a curve of the stream. Of all sections of this character it must be noted that the
looseness of the material causes them quickly to appear and disappear, so that the
observations made at one season cannot often be repeated.
The section we examined was the following :
1. The base of the section was the Boulder Clay of the true normal type. The
boulders, chiefly of trap and limestone, were not very far-travelled, and were beautifully
striated. As usual this Boulder Clay had sharp undulations and dipped violently within
short distances, rising nearly to the surface in one direction and passing down rapidly
beneath the stream, a variation of one to twenty feet in its height taking place within a
quarter of a mile.
The Boulder Clay was capped occasionally along the line of its outcropping by a few
feet of ferruginous gravel. This gravel, as well as the Boulder Clay, has been greatly
denuded, and occurs in patches only. It may be recognised in good sections of the
glacial series of beds, as at Lochgilphead, where it covers the Arctic deposit, but it is not
at all persistently found.
3. Here occurs a vast gap in the normal arrangement of the strata. The Boulder
Clay was not followed by the series of glacial fossiliferous sands and gravels of the Clyde
district, but was simply covered here and there by a layer of peat a few inches less or
more in thickness.
4. Following the peat appeared the first great shell-bed in the section. At the
point described the Boulder Clay was hollowed out and disappeared under the
stream.
The old clay had evidently been disintegrated, and its boulders rolled upon a beach.
The small boulders scattered about were of the same composition as those of the older
bed, but their striations were gone, and they had evidently been subjected to the rolling
action of the waves.
Among the shells embedded in this old sea-bottom not a single purely Arctic form
could be detected, although it was twenty feet beneath the surface, and rested immediately
on the Boulder Clay.
The valves of the specimens were generally loose and separate, yet several perfect
examples were extracted, and from the very bed of the stream a fine example of MJactra
stultorum was obtained in siti, clearly proving that it was not a mere drift-bed, but that
many of the Mollusca lived and died upon the spot. The action of the Irvine Water, often
rising to great heights, would be sufficient to break up the shells and scatter them on the
banks.
5. Upon this rough sea-bottom, with its stones washed out from the disintegrated
Boulder Clay, rests the fine sand of the district. In this sand, fourteen feet from the
surface, and about four feet above the average level of the stream, immediately before our
84 POST-TERTIARY ENTOMOSTRACA.
visit, a considerable portion of the occipital bone, with the condyles, foramen magnum,
and pterygoid process of a large Cetacean had been found.
6. The same fine sand continued to the surface, and was broken by asecond shell-bed,
nearly two feet in depth, and extending along the section in a regular and persistent line.
This shell-bed must have been deposited after the Cetacean stranded in the hollow of the
Boulder Clay, since it is unbroken in regularity, and has not been disturbed subsequently
to its deposition.
The shells have not been roughly heaped up, as a drift, by wind and tide, since many
perfect specimens, fresh as when they were first interred in the sand, were obtained from
the bed. TZelhina tenuis was extracted with both valves entire, together with numerous
perfect examples of Mactra subtruncata. This second shell-deposit indicates a less depth
of water than the one preceding. Its contents consisted of such species as IZ. subtruncata,
Tellina tenuis, whose special habitat is the sand in shallow water, while from the lower
bed were obtained Cyprina Islandica and Lutraria elliptica, which range to greater average
depths.
The rough stones of the lower bed gave place to the finer sands, and the waters
becoming more shallow through the gradual elevation of the land, the nature of the
characteristic fauna slightly changed during the process.
The /owest shell-bed is possibly of the same age as the Pecten maximus bed of
Colintraive and other localities; but, however this may be, the fact of the occurrence of
distinct beds of shells of undoubtedly post-glacial character proves the necessity for their
separate description and examination, and establishes the fact that a series of gradual
changes took place in comparatively recent times.
The following Ostracoda were found:
Cythere pellucida, Baird.
— lutea, Miller.
— convera, Baird.
— albomaculata, Baird.

POST-TERTIARY FOSSILIFEROUS DEPOSITS. 85
u.—A strongly marked series of Post-glacial deposits belongs to the most recent period
of the depression of the land.
These beds when fossiliferous contain precisely the same fauna as that now occupying
British waters. They are, however, sometimes distinguished (a) by a general grouping
of species in slightly different proportions from those now prevalent in the waters of
the special locality, and (4) by the rarity or absence in the immediately neighbouring
waters of a species abundant in the fossil bed.
The deposits, which may be classed together as belonging to the close of the last
period of the depression of the land, range from a little above the sea-level to a height of
about forty feet, and may be described as raised beaches and estuarine beds.
A.—KHstuarine muds compose the Carse Lands of Scotland, and are largely developed
in the Firth of Tay and the Firth of Forth. The mud is in no way stony, but exceedingly
fine and smooth, and has not been disturbed since its first deposition.
A series of bores (investigated by Mr. Croll and Mr. J. Binnie’) “reveal the existence
of a deep trough or channel, running from the Clyde Valley, near Bowling, up to and
through the haugh of Belmore, the valley of the Kelvin, and round by the south-east end
of the Campsie Hills into the valley of the Forth by Grangemouth ;” and one of these will
clearly show the general position of the estuarine mud.”

? With respect to this channel between the Forth and Clyde it must be noted that when the land stood
higher the trap-dyke which crosses the Clyde near Dalmuir would have assisted in forming the deep portions
of the trough into a lake such as Loch Lomond now is, with its bar at Balloch.
* Ibid., p. 144.
86 POST-TERTIARY ENTOMOSTRACA.
Through the Carse of Forth these beds extend to a great depth. Near Falkirk the-
bores show the centre of the trough to be 300 feet deep, the deposits decreasing rapidly on
either side. The thickness of the different beds of the series naturally varies at different
points all over the area covered by them.
Entire skeletons of the Whale (about seventy feet long) were found at Airthrey and
Dunmore, twenty feet above tide-mark, imbedded in the clay,’ and portions of Cetacean
remains near Stirling, Micklewood, and Blair Drummond. ‘The fauna is entirely modern,
and many species occur in extraordinary quantities in large and well-developed beds
which are scattered through the whole of the districts covered by the carse clay precisely as at
the sea-bottom of the present day. Near Micklewood, five miles west of Stirling,
Cardium edule is abundant, Mytilus edulis and Ostrea edulis common.
In a section exposed on the banks of the Allan, Ostrea edulis is seen in layers.
In the Montrose estuarine basin, Scrodzcularia piperata is the most characteristic
shell.
Some shells of an Arctic character, such as Ze/lina calcarea and Trophon scalariforme,
have been reported from the Carse of Falkirk ;? but these evidently belong to a bed of
the older clay which has survived the denudation, and occupies a position beneath the
estuarine mud, probably indicated by No. 5 of the Grangemouth section quoted. During
the sinking of one of the Grangemouth pits at a depth of eighty fect (sixty or seventy —
feet below sea-level) some bones of a Seal were found.’ From mud adhering to these
bones, we obtained Polymorphina compressa and Nonionina asterizans, with one species of
Ostracoda, viz. Cytheropteron Montrosiense, a species associated with Arctic Mollusca in
the old Arctic clays. Some clay from the same pit at a depth of forty feet yielded frag-
ments of Zellina balthica, a species more frequent in estuarine than in glacial beds.

POST-TERTIARY FOSSILIFEROUS DEPOSITS. 89
The estuarine muds at the mouth of the South Esk are typical, and the following
series of deposits has been described by Dr. Howden :'
“1, A layer of unstratified Boulder Clay, of a red colour, lying on rocks polished
and grooved in a general direction of west to east, and containing the dressings
of these rocks and travelled boulders derived from rocks to the west of their present
position.
“2. Laminated dull red clay, forming a terrace forty feet above the level of the sea and
containing marine fossils of an Arctic type and small boulders (transported from great
distances) of rocks foreign to the district.
«3. A layer of stratified sand and gravel covering the laminated and boulder clay to
100 feet above the sea-level, identical in its mineral contents with the unstratified
‘moraine-gravels of Glen Clova.
‘4, Peat found in old water-courses, resting on the marine clay or on the gravel.
“5. A great bar of boulders stretching across the estuary mouth, derived apparently
from the Boulder Clay.
“6. A deposit of estuary or Carse clay and sand, extending to about fifteen feet above
the sea-level, and containing in its lower portions estuary shells.
«<7. An accumulation of blown or drifted sand, forming the links on part of which
Montrose is built.”
Since these old estuarine deposits and raised beaches occur at almost any point
between a few feet above high-water mark and thirty feet, the amount of elevation of
the land during the period they represent (as we pointed out was the case also during
the glacial period) must have been very unequal.
Mr. Jamieson states that the elevation of the old estuarine deposits becomes less as
we proceed from the Firth of Forth to Aberdeenshire,’ commencing at from twenty-five
to forty feet in the Carse clay of the Forth and continuing at that point to the estuary of
the Tay, but at the estuary of the Ythan being eight feet and at Aberdeen only just
above high-water mark.

The position of this bed has been previously described (p. 25). It was about
nine inches in thickness and covered with four feet of surface soil. Immediately
beneath it was the Arctic shell-clay, in the upper part containing few fossils, in the
lower part an abundant fauna, with Cyprina Islandica as the characteristic species.

90 POST-TERTIARY ENTOMOSTRACA.
The fauna of the Cardium edule bed was similar to the fauna of any locality on the
west coast in which that species abounds. In a very small quantity of material the
following Ostracoda were found :
Cythere pellucida, Baird.
Cytheridea papillosa, Bosquet.
Loxoconcha impressa (Baird).
Xestoleberis aurantia (Baird).
Cytherura gibba (Miiller).
5. Iste or CumMBRAE.
The village of Millport, which stretches along the shore, is built on the old twenty-
five-feet sea-beach. From the pier to the west end of Kames Bay, under a thin crust of
soil, is a bed of Melobesia, more or less thick, which, for the most part, rests on the
sandstone rock of the district. It is curious to notice that, although at this stretch of
the beach the Melobesia is lying in beds of considerable thickness, none of it is found
in the sea in the bay opposite to it; but at the south-west end it is most abundant, both
in the raised beach and in the sea.
The fauna is entirely recent. The shelly material is much water-worn, and loses —
little in washing. Mollusca are more abundant than either Foraminifera or Ostracoda.

It occurs on a small plateau at the mouth of a rivulet which might have supplied
the sediment. Only one example of fluviatile Ostracoda, however, was found,—a

§ IV. GENERAL SEQUENCE OF THE POST-TERTIARY BEDS OF
SCOTLAND.
While the place of several individual deposits—the precise nature of the causes by
which they were produced—and the subdivisions of the periods to which they may be
referred, involve geological arguments beyond the scope of the present paper, it may add
to the clearness of those details, distinctive of the beds from which Ostracoda have been
derived, and which have been already dwelt upon, to subjoin a reference to the General
Sequence of the Post-Tertiary Beds of Scotland.
In tabulating this general sequence itself, however, we shall confine ourselves
almost entirely to points illustrated by our previous descriptions of the several beds with
the fauna of which this Monograph is chiefly concerned.
Without attempting to give anything approaching to a final and complete sequence
we simply submit an arrangement, iz the direction of which our investigations have led us,
for the purpose of furnishing a tentative grouping of a large number of deposits which )
it is impossible to study when they are miscellaneously intermingled.

formed during period of greatest depression, as, eg. between
Firth of Forth and Firth of Clyde. During this process
Boulder Clays yosszbly deposited by floating ice over sand and
silt—their alternation as now found being caused by seasonal
changes.
Drifting ice breaking up shell-beds and mixing their contents
with Boulder Clay, especially along the newly forming coasts.
C. Post-guacitaL Perio.
1. Early Post-glacial Period.
Upper Raised Beaches, formed as the land rose from the Glacial
Sea, during the gradual amelioration of the climate.
Upper portions of Clyde clays, showing by absence of species
common in lower portions, the disappearance of an Arctic
fauna and the incoming of estuarine conditions.
Land almost at its present level.
Il. Middle Post-glacial Period.
Possibly milder climate.
Peat with trees, showing conditions very favorable to growth.
Slight resubmergence of the land.
Pecten mazimus bed at Irvine water, Colintraive, &c.
Lower estuarine mud; possibly Scrodecularia bed of silt of east
coast.
Iii. Final Post-glacial Period.
Re-elevation of land to its present position.
Last Raised Beaches.
Upper estuarine mud.
The final Post-glacial Period we regard as terminating with the last elevation of the
land, at however recent a date that may have taken place.
96 POST-TERTIARY ENTOMOSTRACA.
Nore.—With regard to the Ostracoda which we have catalogued from the various
Post-tertiary beds of Scotland the only previous notices of their occurrence known to the
authors of this Monograph are the following :
1. Dr. Howden, in his paper “On the Superficial Deposits of the South Hsk,”?
catalogues among the principal fossils found at the Dryley’s Brick-work, Montrose—
Crusracna, Cythere, sp. (?)
2. Memoirs of the Geological Survey of Scotland: Explanation of—
Sueet J.—Terally Brick-works.
Entomostraca: A few single valves much worn.
Sager [].—Monreith Tile-works.
Cythere emarginata ?
— pulchella ?
3. Mr, Peach’s paper “On the Fossils from the Boulder-clay of Caithness,” in
‘Report of British Assoc.,’ 1862, Trans. Sect., p. 83, includes—Enromosrraca, some
valves of Cythere ?
V. THE POST-TERTIARY OSTRACODA.
In this Monograph we describe 138 species, of which 93 are from the Post-tertiary
beds of Scotland. © The species from the upper beds are the same as those inhabiting the —
British seas at the present day, and their distribution corresponds ; but when the Ostracoda
catalogued from the true glacial deposits of Scotland are studied in connection with the
Mollusca, they yield the same general results both with respect to their relationship to the
fauna now inhabiting British waters and also to the glacial fossil fauna of Norway and
Canada.
A few of these general relationships may be indicated. ‘The names of the fossil
species to which reference is made will be given when we proceed to notice in detail the
facts connected with their distribution.
! «Trans. Geol. Soc. Edin.,’ 1867-8, p. 6.
RELATIONS OF THE GLACIAL FAUNA. 97
1. Relation of the Scotch glacial fauna to the existing fauna of the Scotch waters.
From the results of Mr. J. Gwyn Jeffrey’s dredging expedition in the Hebrides’ it
may be concluded that—
(1) The invertebrate fauna of the district is chiefly northern, and for certain
species peculiar to the Hebrides no locality has been recorded between that and the
Mediterranean. The fauna of the Hebrides must have obtained this characteristic
subsequently to the Glacial Epoch.
(2) The Hebrides constitute the southern limits of many northern species, such as
Lima elliptica (not yet found fossil), Leda pygmea (an abundant glacial fossil), Zrochus
Groenlandicus (also abundant as a glacial fossil).
Of the Mollusca catalogued from the Scotch glacial beds none are extinct species, but
some Arctic forms are absent from the neighbouring sea, while some species ranging within
the Arctic circle may be characterised as very common in glacial clays and very rare as
living specimens.
Of the species of Ostracoda catalogued from the Post-tertiary beds—
18 are extinct, so far as at present known ;
10 are distinctly boreal or Arctic, although living in British waters ;
and none of the remainder are of southern type.
2. Relation of the Scotch glacial fauna to the glacial fauna of the north of Europe.
Prof. Sars gives sixty-one species of Mollusca collected from twenty beds of the old
Glacial Epoch in Norway. Of these sixty-one species we have obtained forty-eight from
the glacial clays of Scotland. Moreover, the characteristic species of some of the
Norwegian clay beds are precisely identical with those of the Scotch beds.
At Moss, e.g. on the Christiania Ffiord the prevailing shell is Leda Arctica, which is
also very characteristic of the Errol clay.
The climate of south-west Norway was undoubtedly more extreme than at present
during the Glacial Epoch, and, so far as the evidence of the fauna reaches, the same severe
climate extended over Scotland.
Of the forty-five fossil species of Ostracoda noted in the “ Glacial and Post-glacial ”
beds of Norway all, except eight, are fossil in the Scotch beds, and all, except one, are
living in British and Norwegian seas.
’ «Annals and Magazine of Natural History,’ 1866, 1867, 1868.

98 POST-TERTIARY ENTOMOSTRACA.
3. Relation of the Scotch glacial fauna to the glacial fauna of Canada.
The fossil glacial fauna of Canada is not so widely distinct from the living fauna of
the Gulf of St. Lawrence as the fossil glacial fauna of the Clyde beds is distinct from the
living fauna of the Firth.
In Scotland at least sixteen species are found fossil which are extinct in British
waters, together with many Arctic varieties of British species.
In Canada Dr. Dawson has described 205 species of ‘“ Post-pliocene fossils,” and
remarks that ‘‘the whole of these, with three or four exceptions, may be affirmed to be
living Northern or Arctic species, belonging, in the case of the marine species, to moderate
depths, or varying from the littoral zone to—say 200 fathoms. ‘The assemblage is identical
with that of the northern part of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Labrador coast at present,
and differs merely in the presence or absence of a few more southern forms now present in
the Gulf, especially in its southern part, where the fauna is of a New England type,
whereas that of the Post-pliocene may be characterised as Labradorian.”*
This marked contrast between the Canadian and Scotch glacial fauna in relation to
the fauna locally existing proves the greater completeness of the change of climate in
Scotland than in Canada.
The Scotch glacial fauna has, moreover, a strong alliance with the Canadian shown by
the prevalence in both of very characteristic Arctic species.
Out of thirty-three fossil species of Ostracoda collected from the Post-pliocene beds of
Canada and Maine,
23 are found in Scottish glacial beds,
25 live in British waters,
6 are new.
The comparison between the Scotch and Canadian beds is of special interest, since it
suggests that at the period when the glacial fauna flourished in the Scottish seas, the
climate was nearly the same as that prevailing in Canada during the same epoch, 7. e.
slightly colder than that of the St. Lawrence.
The fossils, however, must not be considered as marking the extreme point of cold
reached during that epoch; but rather as indicating the commencement of slightly
milder conditions than had hitherto prevailed.
The question suggested by this comparison, therefore, is, What conditions would
produce in the Clyde a temperature slightly colder than that of the Gulf of St.
Lawrence ?
1 ‘Notes on the Post-pliocene Geology of Canada,’ by J. W. Dawson, LL.D.; Montreal, 1872; p. 101.
RELATIONS OF THE GLACIAL FAUNA. 99
The existence of an Arctic current, the wide expanse of land in the American Arctic
regions exercising its chilling influence, and other circumstances connected with the
directions of the mountain-ranges and the heights of the water-shed, account to a large
extent for the climate of Canada.
A corresponding series of changes would explain zof the whole phenomena of the
glacial epoch, but the existence of the fauna of the glacial clays in Scottish waters. The
shiftings of level, of which there is ample evidence, would involve rearrangements in the
relative proportions of land and water; while there would be vital alterations in the
directions of the Arctic currents, and a deflection in the Gulf Stream."

less complete than in Scotland,” by James Croll, ‘Trans. Geol. Soc. Glasgow,’ vol. ii, p. 138. Also a

Crosskey, F.G.S., ibid., p. 132.

§ VI. THE FOLLOWING IRISH AND ENGLISH POST-TERTIARY DEPOSITS
HAVE BEEN EXAMINED FOR OSTRACODA.
1. Wooppurn, CARRICKFERGUS.
About a mile and a half north of Carrickfergus a bed of clay has been cut through
by the stream both a little above and below Woodburn Bridge. ‘This clay is dark-grey
in colour and somewhat stony, and contains a few flint pebbles. It is irregularly overlain
by from one to five feet of shingle, which appears to represent the old bed of the
‘river. In this clay we noticed Leda pernula, Leda pygmea, with fragments of Balani,
&e.; and an Arctic character may be assigned to the deposit.

The raised-beach at Portrush consists chiefly of shell débris. Like a large number
of the raised beaches the material loses little in washing—only 4 per cent., which passes
off in fine mud.
The deposit is uneven in thickness, filling up irregularities of the rock on which it
rests. Its area is greatly hidden, but it is possibly 100 yards square. The fauna it
contains is entirely recent.
Height above the sea fifteen feet.

2. In the upper bed—
Cypris reptans (Baird).
— gibba, Ramdohr.
Cypridopsis obesa, Brady and Robertson.
Candona detecta (Miiller).
7. CarpirF—New Dock Basin.
This deposit is of an estuarine character, becoming more marine in its lower portions.
We examined separately portions of the clay taken from eight, fifteen, twenty, thirty,
and forty feet below the surface. It varies little-in composition, although it alters in
colour from brownish to dark grey, but at the depth of forty feet it alternates with
beds of gravel to the depth of sixty-four feet, where it reaches a red marl.
At eight feet below the surface the dry clay consists of 96 per cent. fine mud, 4 per
cent. shell dééris and fine sand.
At forty feet, 94 per cent. fine mud, 6 per cent. fine and coarse sand, with a few
fragments of shells and a small portion of vegetable matter. The deposit contains some
freshwater and brackish, as well as marine, forms,—a fact accounted for by its position at
the mouth of the River Taff.
The prevailing species is Scrobicularia piperata, the characteristic shell of the
Mersey and the Montrose estuarine muds. It ranges from top to bottom of the clay,
and, in some places, lies in bands with little admixture of clay.
Although the whole fauna has an estuarine character, it is more diversified and more
decidedly marine towards the bottom. ‘The alternations, however, are so capricious
that no lines of regular change can be drawn in the fauna. For example, at forty feet
below the surface Cythere porcellanea prevails over Cythere castanea ; at fifteen feet
C. castanea prevails over C. porcellanea; at eight feet C. porcellanea prevails over
C. castanea.
At the depth of forty feet the shells of Ostracoda and those of young Mollusca
are filled with iron-pyrites. This is also the case at eight feet below the surfaee ;
but at the intermediate depths of fifteen, twenty, and thirty feet scarcely a trace of it
is seen,

CLASSIFICATION OF THE OSTRACODA. 109
§ VII. CLASSIFICATION OF THE OSTRACODA.
The remains of Entomostraca occurring in the Post-tertiary formations belong, so far
as we at present know them, exclusively to the Ostracoda, nor is it likely that an
extension of our knowledge will reveal the presence of any other tribes in the British
area. The soft or chitinous nature of the investments of the other groups renders their
speedy putrefaction almost inevitable, except, perhaps, with some of the Phyllopoda,
which are for the most part confined to warmer waters than any which have existed in
this region in recent times.’
The only satisfactory classification of these creatures being based upon the structure
of those parts which most rapidly disappear after the death of the animal, it would be
of little use in this place to give tables which must refer only to details altogether beyond
the scrutiny of the paleontologist. We may, however, refer the reader for information
on this subject to the memoir of Dr. G. O. Sars on the ‘ Marine Ostracoda of Norway,’
and to Mr. G. S. Brady’s ‘ Monograph of the Recent British Ostracoda,’ published by
the Linnean Society. But as being of more utility to the student of fossil species we
have drawn up a table embracing only the characters derived from the shells without
any regard to internal animal structure; this is the more feasible inasmuch as the
affinities of internal anatomy are always found (as might, by a believer in the doctrine of
evolution, be fully expected) to correspond more or less closely with similar affinities of
shell-structure. To make our survey of the Ostracoda more complete, and for the sake
of assigning to their proper position several genera, which have hitherto been published
only in a disconnected manner, we, however, here insert a synopsis of the anatomical
characters of the species belonging to the families Cypride, Darwinellide, and
Cytheride ; and we give likewise a list, revised up to this date, of the families and
genera of the Ostracoda, recent and fossil, so far as they are known to us.
1 The only instance within our knowledge in which remains of Cladocera have been preserved in
the Post-tertiary formations is that of the Dipple Tile-works, referred to on a previous page. Fragments of
the chitinous limbs and investments of these creatures are here very abundant, and possibly, if they could
be examined in si¢d, might be found tolerably perfect, but the unavoidable processes of “ washing,’’ and
otherwise manipulating the matrix, reduce them to a very fragmentary condition before they can be
effectively submitted to microscopic examination. We have, however, been able to recognise with certainty
in the Dipple deposit, remains of Camptocercus macrourus (which constitute the bulk of the fragments),
and Alona elongata, and, more doubtfully, Chydorus sphericus, Alona guttata, and Alona quadrangularis.
There are also in considerable abundance bodies which appear to be the ephippia of Daphniade.,

Though we have thought it desirable to give these brief generic diagnoses, inserting
only such characters as may be derived from the formation of the carapace (this being the
only part of the animal available to the paleontologist); it should, nevertheless, be
clearly understood that the really important generic distinctions are, in almost all cases,
based upon the structure of the internal organs, chiefly, indeed, on the formation of the
limbs, mouth-apparatus, and sexual organs. Yet, in the majority of cases, these deep-
seated peculiarities coincide so remarkably with a particular form of shell that there need
usually be no difficulty in assigning the fossil remains met with in the Tertiary and Post-
tertiary strata to their proper genera. Amongst the Entomostraca of the Paleozoic
formations, however, we meet with types of shell-structure far removed from those of
recent times and can only vaguely conjecture as to their relations.
From the foregoing Table we have excluded altogether the family Conchceciade, the
delicate valves of which have not been found (nor, indeed, are they likely ever to be
found) in any geological formation. The exclusively Paleozoic genera are also omitted,
as well as the recent genus Heterodesmus, which has not been met with except in the
Chinese seas, and seems to be allied to the Carboniferous genus Hutomoconchus.

DISTRIBUTION OF SPECIES. 7
§ VIII. SUMMARY OF FACTS OF DISTRIBUTION.
1. Freshwater and Marine Species —Of the one hundred and thirty-two species of
Ostracoda described in this Monograph, twenty-four may be considered to have been
inhabitants of fresh or slightly brackish water, the remaining one hundred and eight
being strictly marine species. The freshwater group is constituted as follows :
Cypris cinerea. Candona compressa.
— compressa. — detecta.
— gibba. — lactea.
— ovum. Potamocypris fulva.
— reptans. Darwinella Stevensoni.
— salina. Limnicythere antiqua.
— virens. — imopinata.
— levis. — monstrifica.
Cypridopsis Newtoni. — Sancti-Patrici.
— obesa. Cytheridea lacustris.
Candona albicans. — torosa.
— candida. Loxoconcha elliptica.
Of these twenty-four species all except one (Limnicythere antigua, respecting which
we entertain some doubt as to whether it may not be a sexual variation or a stage of
growth of some other species) are perfectly familiar to us as inhabiting at the present
time the freshwater ponds and rivers or the brackish littoral pools of Great Britain
and parts of the European continent. ‘I'wo of them seem to be much restricted in their
distribution, and have been found fossil only in the neighbourhood of the localities where
they still live: these are Cypridopsis Newtoni and Darwinella Stevensoni. The presence
of Cytheridea torosa or Loxoconcha elliptica may be taken as an almost certain indication
of more or less brackish water ; it is seldom that either species is found living in quite
fresh or m undiluted sea-water.
The distribution of the marine species is, however, much more perfectly known :
their number being so much greater, and the area over which they have been studied so
much wider, we are thus better able to recognise in their distribution the effects of
climate and other physical conditions. A comparison of the Ostracodal fauna of the
Scottish glacial clays with that of the seas at present washing the European shores leads
118 POST-TERTIARY ENTOMOSTRACA.
us to conclude that the general character of the glacial Ostracoda is of a type decidedly
more boreal in character than that of the present epoch in the same latitudes. Perhaps,
indeed, we should not be far wrong in saying that the species found in the clay beds of
the south of Scotland correspond very closely with what we should expect to find now
living on the Atlantic sea-bed between Scotland and Greenland. It is, however, only
from very fragmentary observations made by private effort over the latter area that we
are able to draw this conclusion; and we, therefore, the more regret that the splendid
opportunities of research which were within our grasp, during the cruises of the
“Lightning ” and “ Porcupine,” seem to have been in this department almost or entirely
neglected. Amongst the contents of the clay beds here referred to we are able, never-
theless, to point to the following species as extending southward, at the present day, only
to latitudes corresponding to those of the Northern Hebrides, and apparently reaching
their full development only towards the Arctic regions, or on the western side of the
Atlantic, in the cold waters of Canada.
2. List of Post-Tertiary Species now known as characterizing the Arctic seas and the
northern coasts of Norway, Scotland, and America.
Cythere leioderma. Cytheridea Sorbyana.
— costata. Cytheropteron inflatum.
— murabilis. — angulatum.
— latimarginata.
Cytheridea papillosa, OC. punctillata, and Cythere concinna, though extending
somewhat further southward, and living even abundantly on the eastern shores of
England, so far south as Yorkshire, are still conspicuously absent from more southern
latitudes. These three species are, perhaps, in numbers, the most abundant of
all the glacial Ostracoda. On the other hand, certain species, such as Bairdia
inflata, B. acanthigera, and Cythere emaciata, which now are found living most
abundantly on the southern shores of the British Islands, becoming rare or altogether
absent from the northern shores, are likewise either entirely absent or of extreme
rarity in the glacial clays; nor, indeed, have we found in these clays any species of
distinctly southern type. So far, however, as our present limited knowledge of the
English Post-tertiary beds extends, it would seem that their fauna indicates at least as
much difference between them and the corresponding Scottish deposits, as exists at
present in the seas of the two districts. Of the species comprised in this Monograph
nineteen are either extinct or have not yet been seen living. ‘They are as follows:

Comparing the British Post-tertiary Ostracoda, so far as we at present know them,
with those recorded by the late Professor Sars and Dr. G. O. Sars,’ and by Messrs.
Crosskey and Robertson,” as occurring in the Glacial and Post-glacial beds of Norway,
we find that of the forty-five Norwegian species all, except eight (marked * in the
following list), occur likewise in the British deposits of similar date ; while of these eight,
Cytherura atra is altogether unknown to us, and it is just possible that we may have
included forms strictly referable to it under some other species of that difficult genus.
Cythere truncata has not yet been described by G. O. Sars, and may very probably be
identical with some other species described in this Monograph. Of these forty-five
species (leaving C. ¢ruacata and C. atra as doubtful), Krithe glacialis is the only one
which is absent from the recent marine fauna of Norway and Great Britain, and we
may add that Cythere albomaculata, a species very abundant and characteristic of the
British recent and fossil faunze, appears to be almost or entirely absent from those of
Norway.

BIBLIOGRAPHY. 121
Species marked with an asterisk occur living in the British seas, and those marked
with a dot in the British Post-tertiary clays. Cythere Dawsoni has occurred living in
the River St. Lawrence, while C. MacChesneyi, C. cuspidata, Cytherura cristata, C.
granulosa, and Cytheropteron complanatum have not been found at all in other localities,
either living or fossil. So that it is evident from the very partial investigation hitherto
made that a considerable admixture of species, unknown to Europe, occurs in the Post-
tertiary deposits of North America, and that these correspond more or less closely with
the recent fauna of the same district. This subject will, however, be found treated
at greater length in a paper on “ Fossil Ostracoda from the Post-Tertiary Deposits of
Canada and New England,” published in the ‘ Geological Magazine’ for February, 1871.

apex of the terminal or seventh joint. Lower antenne five-jointed, bearing a fascicle of
five or six setee of variable length, and on the inner side of the third joint a short bi-
articulate seta; terminating in four long curved and serrated claws; a few short sete
also arise from the sides of the fourth joint, near the middle; second pair of jaws smaller
than the first, in the male prehensile, and in the female consisting of a short, simple,
setiferous lobe, a subconical, simple, or obscurely articulate palp, which projects back-
ward, and terminates in three long sete, and a small branchial plate, bearing six
radiating respiratory sete. Postabdominal rami long and slender, bearing at the apex
two long and unequal curved claws, and a short seta; a short seta springs also from the
inner margin of the ramus at or below the middle. The males furnished (mostly, if not
always) with two mucous glands, consisting of a cylindrical axis, on which are set seven
whorls of radiating filaments, the whole connected with an efferent tube or “ vas

It may perhaps be doubtful whether the specimen here described is properly
referable to C. salina, as it differs from the recent specimens of that species not only in
being considerably smaller but also to some extent in lateral outline which is more
nearly reniform. The smaller size may depend upon immaturity, and the differences of ©
shape are not sutficient to warrant its separation as a distinct species; the absence of
colouring cannot be considered important in a fossil example, and, indeed, sometimes
occurs in recent specimens.

Though a common species in most parts of Great Britain at the present time, we
have met with very scanty traces of C. virens in the fossil condition ; indeed, for this
reason we have been compelled to give figures and description from recent specimens,
our fossil examples consisting of mere fragments, which, however, we can scarcely doubt
are rightly referred as above. It is remarkable that a species so abundant in the recent
state should be so poorly represented in the later lacustrine and fluvial deposits; perhaps
an explanation may be found in the fact that C. virens chiefly haunts small grassy pools
and ditches, and, so far as our experience goes, is pretty much absent (except at the
grassy margins) from those larger expanses of water whose deposits are most likely to
come under the observation of the paleontologist. ‘These remarks apply equally to some
other species, e.g. C. reptans and Candona candida.

We were at one time disposed to regard this as a new and distinct form ; but, after
examining specimens of C. /evis from many widely separated localities, it seems to be so
variable in respect of size, outline, and colouring, that we can scarcely avoid the conclu-
sion that our Whittlesea specimens belong to the same category. The form figured in
the ‘ Monograph of Recent British Ostracoda,’ though apparently common in the county
of Durham in a living state, is, perhaps, more pronounced as to the tumidity of the
posterior and tapering of the anterior extremity than is usual with the species.

Some doubt may, perhaps, attach to our identification of these specimens, none of
which were quite perfect, and most merely worn and separated valves ; but except in size
they approach very closely to the form described by one of the present authors under
‘the name Cypris cinerea. Our written description is taken from recent specimens, but
will be found to agree very closely with the figure taken from a fossil carapace, and given
in Plate II of this Memoir.

tion of intermediate forms would never be suspected of any close relationship to

Recent examples of this fine species exhibit considerable variety of form and, more
especially, of surface-sculpture and spinous armature, some being almost perfectly smooth
at the extremities, and others strongly margined with spines or dentate lamella ; some
specimens, again, are clothed towards the extremities with numerous long, stiff bristles.
Our fossil examples are, however, as yet so few that these variations have not been
noticed, but should the species be found to occur im widely distant beds, we may then
expect to find varieties of the kind here described.

The reasons which induce us to unite the two genera Cythere and Cythereis have
been explained by Mr. Brady in his ‘ Monograph of the Recent British Ostracoda ;’ but
as they relate entirely to the anatomy of the animal, we do not think it needful to recount
them here. It must be abundantly evident to all students of the group that no per-
manent distinctive character can be found in the shel/s of the two genera.

Very closely allied to this species are C. pellucida, porcellanea, Macallana, and tenera.
From the first named C. castanea may be distinguished by its usually darker colour, its
more closely punctate shell, the pittings of which are always small and round (not oblong or
of any considerable size), by the almost cuneate form of the male, and its perfectly straight
dorsal margin. C. ¢enerais smaller, has no transverse furrow, is more finely, or not at all,
punctured, and is also sparingly papillose. C. porcel/anea is more flexuous or reniform in
outline, smooth or indistinctly sculptured; regularly ovate when seen from above, and
has a much less pronounced supero-posteal angle. The same remarks apply to C. Macal-

This species is, in many respects, not unlike C. dadia, Norman, with which, indeed,
it was confounded in the ‘Monograph of the Recent British Ostracoda.’ It is,
however, distinctly truncate behind, and is usually conspicuously sculptured, or even
rugose, with the anterior border minutely crenated. C. badia, on the contrary, is but
vaguely pitted on the surface, and, seen from above, is pretty regularly ovate and not at
all truncate. The Mediterranean form described by Mr. Brady (op. cif.) under the
specific name crispata, though much more prominently rugose, seems to be essentially
the same as the northern species. The name cicatricosa having been previously applied
by Reuss to another species of the same genus, must give way to that here adopted.

This species is found living abundantly in the seas of Britain and Scandinavia,
mostly in the littoral and laminarian zones ; it is also one of the most abundant Post-
tertiary fossil species. ‘The shell of the female sometimes nearly approaches in appear-
ance the female C. villosa, but a close examination especially of the hinge-joints will
always remove any doubt respecting it.

Cythere convexa is in the living state widely distributed round the British coast, but
nowhere occurs very abundantly; it ranges from the littoral zone to depths of about
thirty fathoms, but does not appear to have been noticed either in the seas or glacial
deposits of Scandinavia. |
Some of the forms described and figured by Professor T. Rupert Jones under the name
Cythere punctata ave undoubtedly referable to the present species, but some of the synonyms
and references given by that author do not appear to us to be applicable. We are not
acquainted with the figures of C. punctata given by Roemer, but that of Reuss, if meant
for the present species, is certainly very bad, while his Cypridina punctatella, which. is
doubtfully referred by Professor Jones to the young of the present species, evidently
belongs to the group assigned in this memoir to the genus Lovoconcha. ‘The same may also:
be said of Bosquet’s Cythere punctatella. Lastly, it may be noted that G. O. Sars has
erroneously applied Dr. Baird’s name (convera), having assigned it to a totally different
form, the Cytheropteron lutissimum of this Monograph.

This species differs from C. convewa, Baird (C. punctata ? Miinster) in its greater
proportionate height, in being more tumid below the middle, and in being destitute of any
very prominent beak at the postero-inferior angle. In lateral outline it approaches:
closely to a recent Mediterranean species, C. Speyert, Brady,’ but is smaller and very
much less tumid, besides being deficient in the beak, which that species possesses in
common with C. convewa.

C. Jeffreysii has been found recent on the western coasts of Ireland and Scotland,
and also off the Channel Islands, but in all these localities is very rare. The surface-
marking of the shell is such as is found in the young of species which in the adult stage
are strongly spinous ; and a similarly ornamented form, which proved to be the young
of C. echinata, Sars, was described by Mr. Brady in the ‘ Zoological Transactions’ under
the name of Oythere catenata. Sars’s description had not, however, been published at
that time, nor had Mr. Brady seen the species in its adult state. The valve of C.
Jeffreys figured in our plate is, probably, a young one; but some of the recent
specimens appear to be fully grown, and still exhibit similar characters. We have,
therefore, but little hesitation in considering it a distinct species.

This species is very similar in shape and general appearance to C. villosa, but is
smaller, more delicately sculptured, and less angular in outline; the hingement and
characters of the lucid spots are also widely different. In the recent state it has

This is very distinct from all other species, except perhaps C. marginata, Norman, of
which one specimen only is extant, and which must be looked upon as a somewhat
doubtful form. Though bearing some resemblance to C. tuberculata, C. laticarina is easily
distinguished from that species by the different proportions, and even contour of the
carapace, as well as by its much thickened margins. A certain soft, woolly appearance of

class, and exhibit the peculiar markings of the species with great distinctness; these
consist of a prominent ridge running parallel to and a little within the anterior margin,
and continued along the ventral border to the hinder end of the valve, a large rounded
eminence a little below and in front of the centre of the valve and a flexuous rib running
from the posterior margin of this tubercle towards the supero-posteal angle; the rest of
the shell-surface is marked with small closely set puncta, and with minor ribs radiating
from the larger ridges and tubercles ; the posterior portion of the shell is also sometimes
marked with distinct angular recticulations, as in fig. 9. Sometimes, however, the
shell-sculpture is very feebly developed (fig. 6), the tubercles and ridges being very
faintly indicated, the general surface obscurely pitted, and bearing a few short rigid
hairs. Hinge-processes strongly developed.
Length, 3'sth of an inch.
Between the simplest and the most elaborately sculptured forms all shades of
variation may be found, and we have not been able to detect any constant relation between
the varieties of sculpture and the geological position or other conditions of life; the most
ornate and the most simple forms are found living in our own seas almost side by
side, and have apparently existed in a similar manner in the seas of the Glacial Epoch.
Various stages of growth are represented in figs. 13—16. C. concinna has been found
im the recent state in the Arctic Sea, and on the coasts of Norway, Canada, Scotland, and
north of England ; its range of depth appears to be from ten to sixty fathoms.

height equal to about half the length. Anterior extremity obliquely rounded, often
bearing a row of from eight to twelve small teeth ; posterior extremity narrowed, angular,
excavated above and considerably produced below, where it is generally armed with about
four sharp spines: inferior margin straight or slightly convex; superior elevated over
the anterior hinge, thence sloping backwards. Seen from above, oblong-ovate or

ornamented with large, deep, angular excavations, mostly arranged in irregularly waved or
radiating lines; there is usually a conspicuous rounded tubercle a little below and in
front of the centre of the valve, and two broad, rounded, and elevated ridges, one
running parallel with the ventral, the other with the dorsal margin, on the posterior half
of the valve; these are confluent behind, ending abruptly and thus forming a well-
marked transverse ridge or declivity; there is also a narrow elevated ridge running
parallel to and within the anterior margin.

This species, like C. conciuna, varies much in the amount of sculpture visible on its
valves, some specimens, as shown in fig. 17, being poorly marked, while others, of
which fig. 21 is a fair example, are very highly ornamented. In the British seas, at the
present day, it seems to be of rare occurrence, and confined to the northern and western
shores of Scotland, where it lives in considerable depths of water. It has been found
also by G. O. Sars on the coast of Norway.

original account given by G. O. Sars. Our figure, however, is copied accurately from the
Hopton Cliff specimen.
Judging from the carefully drawn figures of Dr. Speyer, which, though too small,
offer a delightful contrast to the almost useless illustrations of fossil Ostracoda usually
produced in Germany, we have no doubt that his Cythere latimarginata really refers to
the species better known to us by the more recent description (from the living animal)
of Sars under the name adyssicola. On the ground of priority, however, we here adopt
Speyer’s specific name.

marked throughout with large, deep, irregularly shaped pittings, the interspaces of which
often bear a few scattered setiferous papilla, bearing also three more or less conspicuous
eminences, one rounded and situated near the middle, the others elongated and occupying
the posterior third of the valve; these, especially the two posterior, are often almost
obsolete.

CYTHERE. 165
Cythere tuberculata is one of the commonest and most widely distributed of living
British Ostracoda, occurring chiefly in depths of 10—30 fathoms. Like its near allies,
C. concinna, angulata, quadridentata, &c., it exhibits much variation in outline and in
surface-marking, and, as also in those species, the tubercular elevations are much more
conspicuous in very young than in old specimens, though the contrary holds good with
regard to the pitting or excavation of the shell.

It is not without hesitation that we identify the single valve on which the foregoing
description is founded with C. Logan: ; yet, though the contour of the shell differs in some
not unimportant particulars from the types of that species, its general aspect and style of
sculpture are so nearly similar that we think it best, for the present at least, to consider it
as belonging to the same species.

Cythere Dunelmensis is not very rare in the living state in the seas of Norway,
Scotland, and Northern England, mostly inhabiting depths of fifteen fathoms and
upwards. ‘The reticulation of the surface is often obscure, and its spinous armature is
very variable in strength and general development. Young specimens (fig. 19) are sub-
ovate in form, with the margins arched and the angles well rounded off. The form
figured in Plate XI, figs. 36, 37, which we at one time supposed to belong to a distinct
species, is without doubt the young stage of C. Dunelmensis ; between this and the adult
form almost all gradations of growth have been observed.

inferior margins parallel, the latter almost straight, the former cleft into three or four
angular segments with intervening sulci and forming an angular elevation over the
anterior hinge. Seen from below, oblong with projecting lateral alz, which taper
towards the front, but terminate abruptly behind, giving to the whole a somewhat
arrow-headed outline. From above the outline is more irregular. Surface of the shell
more or less tuberculated, bearing two conspicuous longitudinal crests, which terminate
abruptly in angular elevations near the posterior extremity of the valves; these ribs are
mostly perforated at the base, the rows of apertures thus produced being very
conspicuous on the ventral aspect of the shell. The “eye-tubercle” is very large and
prominent.

projections, which gradually increase in size from the front to the posterior third, where
they terminate abruptly ; greatest width equal to two thirds of the length, situated behind
the middle. End-view triangular, equilateral; the base perfectly straight. The surface
of the shell is quite smooth and rises gradually from the front to near the posterior
extremity of the valves, there forming an abrupt spinous declivity. A strongly developed
ridge commences at the anterior hinge or “ eye-tubercle,” running a little within and
parallel to the anterior and inferior margins, as far as the transverse declivity just
described ; this ridge is in the first portion of its course smooth and rounded, but near
the middle of the anterior margin becomes spinous and retains that character to the end,
the spines of which it is composed being about ten in number, very large and strong,
rounded at the tips; a little below and behind the middle of the superior margin
is a shorter row of similar strong processes, three or four in number and arranged
longitudinally.

This differs from the typical form of the species, only in the greater delicacy of its
shell-structure and the more attenuated condition of its spinous armature. Our fossil
specimens, of which fig. 7 gives a correct idea, do not exhibit these peculiarities so
conspicuously as do recent carapaces dredged in the west of Ireland, or more especially
in the Mediterranean and Bay of Biscay ; but between the extreme forms of these latter
localities and the robust strongly armed carapaces of the Dogger bank and still more

Carapace, as seen from the side, reniform, greatest height near the middle and some-
what exceeding half the length; anterior extremity evenly, posterior obliquely rounded,
and fringed below the middle with a series of from six to twelve small sharp teeth ;
‘superior margin forming a flattened arch, inferior deeply sinuated in the middle. Seen
from above, the outline is irregularly ovate, conspicuously and sharply mucronate in front
and more obscurely behind ; greatest width behind the middle, and scarcely equal to half
the length. Surface of the valves finely punctate, once or twice transversely sulcate, and
usually bearing from one to three tubercles; margins produced into a compressed en-
circling flange. Colour yellowish.
Length, 5th of an inch.
The tuberculation and general surface-sculpture of this species vary very much;
sometimes, as in the specimen here figured, there is scarcely any tuberculation ; in other
cases there may be one, two, or three tubercles, which of course very much modify the
outline of the shell when viewed from above. Our fossil specimens, however, are as a
general rule less uneven than the recent ones.

It may perhaps be doubted whether this form be not referable to the young or some:
local variety of the foregoing species; its chief distinctive characters are the narrowed
posterior extremity, straight dorsal margin, and faint surface-sculpture, just such as are
usually presented by young shells, but we have not as yet seen any distinctly intermediate
forms, nor are we sure as to the young of the recent Z. inopinata.

We include in this genus the species referred by Prof. T. Rupert Jones and G. O..
Sars to Cyprideis, as we are unable to find any sufficient character to distinguish these
from the typical Cytheridea of M. Bosquet. Sars proposes to confine the generic term
Cytheridea to the form typified by his C. dentata; but the animal structure of this
species is quite unknown, and the shell does not appear to exhibit any marked differen-
tiating character; the difference seems to us to be one of degree merely.
Certain species of Cytheridea are very abundant and widely distributed in the seas of
the present day, but the number of species is comparatively few. Most of the forms
described in this Monograph are, however, still flourishing in the British areaa.

than those obligingly sent to us from France by M. Bosquet, they so perfectly agree in every
other respect that we can scarcely do otherwise than adopt the name papillosa already
applied to them by Mr. Brady. In habitat it ranges from extreme low-water-mark to
twenty or thirty fathoms, and is also found, but much less abundantly, in greater depths
of water. .

greatest height equal to more than half the length. Anterior extremity broadly and
evenly, posterior somewhat obliquely rounded; superior margin highest over the anterior
hinge, where it is obscurely angular, thence sloping backwards with a gentle convexity ;
inferior straight or very slightly sinuated in the middle. Outline, as seen from above,
ovate, greatest width in the middle, and equal to half the length; extremities obtusely

narrower, and more angular, the posterior margin of the right valve sloping abruptly in a
subtruncate manner. Surface of the shell thickly covered with impressed puncta, which
have a tendency to coalesce or to form faintly-marked grooves. Specimens from certain
localities (Jordan Hill, &c.) bear also numerous small circular elevated papille ; in young
specimens these constitute the only markings, but are displaced by the pitted sculpture
as age advances. Many examples are profusely marked with both species of sculpture.

Cytheridea punctillata occurs in the living state on the shores of Britain and Norway
in company with the preceding species, but is not nearly so common, nor is its range of
habitat so great ; it does not seem to approach nearer to the shore than depths of 15—
20 fathoms. In the Glacial clays, however, it is much more abundant, being, perhaps,
the commonest of all the Ostracoda in those formations. It may readily be distinguished

from C. papillosa by its dull, unpolished surface, distinct punctation, and less conspicuous
papilla, as well as by the anterior elevation of the dorsal margin and the less exserted
infero-posteal angle ; it is also a considerably smaller species. The young forms of the
two sexes are represented at figs. 6 and 7. C. punctillata approaches closely Bosquet’s
“ Bairdia” (Cytheridea) punctatella, and B. Hebertiana, as also (fide Bosquet) to C.
Muellerc, Minster; but it is not strictly referable to any of these forms. M. Bosquet
himself considers it a distinct species.

This differs from the typical form in being altogether destitute of tubercular pro-
minences, which are replaced in most cases by a shallow transverse median sulcus on the
lateral aspect of the valves.
C. torosa is usually an inhabitant of brackish water, where it is often found living in
immense numbers, the situations which it haunts being chiefly salt marshes and muddy
estuaries. It has, however, though very rarely, been found in quite fresh water, and
more frequently in shallow littoral situations exposed to purely marine influences ; but
in neither of these latter cases does it ever occur very abundantly.
We have not ourselves met with the typical tuberculated form of this species amongst
Post-tertiary fossils, except in one locality, our examples being otherwise referable to the
smooth variety (feres, Brady and Robertson).

Cytheridea lacustris is an inhabitant of fresh water. It appears to be of rare
occurrence in the living state, having been noticed only in two localities in Scotland and
one in England and in some Norwegian lakes. The tubercular eminences of the shell
are very variable in number and degree of elevation, sometimes being almost obsolete,
and at others forming a very conspicuous feature. The generic position of the species
must be looked upon as provisional until the male has been seen and examined in the
recent state.

Except for its occurrence in company with distinctly marine species, we should
almost have placed this in the genus Candona, to which it bears a very strong resem-
blance. Some undoubtedly marine forms have, however, been described (Cytheridea
Zetlandica, Brady, and C. nobilis, Brady), which present very similar characters ; but in none
of these cases have the recent animals been procured in a state fit for anatomical exami-
nation. Their present generic position must consequently be looked upon as merely
provisional.

This species, which is of frequent occurrence round the British shores at the present
day, seems to occupy, in some of its characters, especially in those of the hinge-joint, a

is, however, very distinct from that of the former genus, and, so far as we at present know,
does not differ from that observed in Cytheridea.

Genus 6—Loxoconcna, G. O. Sars.
Valves nearly equal, subrhomboidal, and mostly flexuous in outline, evenly convex.
Surface smooth or marked with concentrically arranged impressed puncta or with
polygonal fossz, often also with minute circular papilla. Ventral margin forming a
prominent compressed keel behind the middle; postero-superior angle obliquely truncate.
Hinge-joit formed by two small teeth at the extremities of the hinge-line of each valve.
Limbs of the animal slender and colourless. Upper antenne very slender, six-jointed,
the last joint very long, linear, and bearing long simple sete; lower antenne four-
jointed, the third joint long and narrow; flagellum long and biarticulate. Mandibular
palp three-jointed, bearing a distinct branchial appendage. Lowest seta of the branchial
plate of the first pair of jaws deflexed. Feet long and slender, alike in male and female.
Abdomen terminated by a hairy conical process; postabdominal lobes bearing two
moderately long subequal sete.
The members of this genus are easily recognised by their obliquely quadrangular or
“peach-stone-shaped” outline. They occur in considerable abundance in our seas as
well as in the Glacial clays, but the number of species is comparatively small. The
females in this genus are very much more common than the males.

equally tapering and pointed, greatest width equal to half the length. End-view very
broadly ovate, keeled. The shell of the ma/e is unlike that of the female, much lower in
front than behind, the upper margin straight and abruptly angulated at each extremity
(see figure of male, Z. guttata, Pl. VIII, fig. 7). Surface marked with closely set
concentric circular punctures, which on the ventral surface run into somewhat moniliform
furrows ; in the interspaces are a few distant circular papille. The shell is dense in
structure, and in old specimens is covered with a thick calcareous crust, which almost
obliterates the surface-markings.
Length, s'sth of an inch.
LL. impressa is very abundant on most parts of the British coast at the present day,
ranging from the littoral zone to depths of about twenty-five fathoms; it occurs also in
the more recent Glacial and Post-tertiary formations, but not in those of old date.
Its characters are well marked and not likely to be confounded with those of any other

The almost obsolete aleeform projection of the shell induced the author of the
‘Monograph of the Recent British Ostracoda’ to place this species in the genus
Cytheropteron. We have, however, since that period become acquainted with some even
more distinctly alate forms which undoubtedly belong to Loxoconcha, and, as the present
species 1s in general appearance quite in accord with that genus, we have no hesitation in
removing it from its former position.

LOXOCONCHA—XESTOLEBERIS. 189
This very well-marked species is a characteristic inhabitant of brackish water, being
seldom or never found living in purely marine situations. In the water of salt marshes,
estuaries, and at the heads of contracted bays where there is much influx of fresh water,
it often occurs in great abundance, and in such situations it appears to be generally
distributed round the coasts of Europe.

This genus is chiefly distinguished by the peculiar form of the carapace, which is very
low and pointed in front, elevated and tumid behind, in these respects offering a direct
contrast to the genus Hucythere, with which, however, in the character of the hinge-joint
and of the surface-markings, it to a great extent agrees.

There is much variety in the surface-marking of this species, some specimens being
distinctly reticulated while others are obscurely rugose, owing to the coalescence of the
fossze ; in others, again, as in fig. 23, the transverse furrows become exceedingly deep
and well marked. It may be distinguished from C. nodosum (with which alone, amongst
fossil species, it is likely to be confounded) by the less angular outline, and the absence of
any conspicuous tubercles on the dorsal aspect. In the living state C. /atissimum is met
with abundantly round the shores of Britain and Norway, in a depth of 10—60 fathoms,

two thirds of the length; anterior extremity pointed, lateral margins sloping in a
curved line outwards to near the posterior third, where they sink suddenly, forming a
rectangular projection, the hinder third of the shell constituting a large triangular process.
End-view triangular, the angles all acute. Surface of the shell smooth, bearing more or
less numerous scattered circular papillee, and usually with indistinct transverse striato-reti-
culate sculpture ; the lateral ale prominent, rounded off gradually in front, rectangular
behind, and in old specimens bearing at the angle a strong, awl-shaped mucro or spine.
Length, ‘oth of an inch.
At oné time we supposed this interesting species to be identical with the Cypridina
vespertilio of Reuss and of Egger, but further acquaintance with it and other allied forms
convinces us that we were mistaken in that supposition, and that the C. vespertilio of
those authors is really referable to an immature stage of Cytheropteron alatum, G. O.
Sars.' Young specimens of C. arcuatum have the lateral ale, as a rule, well rounded,
and are destitute of the angular spine; the shell is also more fully papillated, but the
reticulated surface-ornament, on the contrary, seems to become more distinct with age.
C. hamatum, of G. O. Sars, is very nearly allied to the present species, but that author
himself, from actual examination, considers it to be distinct, an opinion in which we
entirely agree with him. ‘The difference is chiefly that of outline, C. arcuatum being
more boldly arched, and with blunter, wider, and less produced extremities; in these .
particulars (though in no others) C. hamatum more resembles the C. inflatum of the present

It will be seen by reference to the figures that the two forms included in the
foregoing description differ considerably in appearance, but it will also be observed that
the smaller, which we suppose to be the male, would by a larger development of the
posterior and lateral protuberances assume a shape almost identical with that of the
larger form; and as the two occur in the same localities we think it best to regard them
as varieties of the same species dependent probably upon sex or age. C. Montrosiense
has been found in the recent state in company with C. cnflatum.
The form figured in Plate XIV we at one time supposed to belong to a distinct

absence of lateral alar projections, and of any surface-ornament except the very slightest
punctation. More extended researches have, however, supplied us with numerous
specimens in stages intermediate between this and the fully developed C. Montrosiense,
showing the extremity becoming gradually more obtuse and upturned, the shell-surface
putting on its characteristic sculpture, and the lateral processes in progress of
development.

We do not remember to have seen any fossil shells of this species marked with the
dark-coloured macule, which are so constant in recent littoral examples. This may
arise either from their having inhabited water of considerable depth or possibly from loss
of the original colouring during the ages which have elapsed since their death.

Three or four examples of this very distinct species were found in the Bridlington
deposit, but too late to be figured in our lithographic plates. It has the general aspect
of a Paradozxostoma, but we have failed to find the mandibular aperture characteristic of
that species ; neither are the lucid spots visible. Moreover, there is an indistinct appear-
ance of overlapping of the left valve on the dorsal surface, so that we cannot but consider
the position here assigned to it somewhat doubtful. In lateral outline it is extremely like
P. abbreviatum (which species we have by some oversight omitted to include in our
plates), but when viewed from above is much more tumid.

shghtly narrowed and somewhat flattened, with a wide, but shallow, notch below the
middle ; obtusely subangular below, rounded off above ; posterior extremity broad, boldly

anterior extremity narrowly, posterior rather broadly, rounded ; greatest width situated

It is extremely probable that this is only the female of the much more commonly seen
Asterope Maria, which differs, however, very considerably in external appearance, being
much longer and more compressed, more delicate in shell structure and variously coloured.
The anatomy of the two animals is, however, essentially the same, and the points of
difference are such as might be expected to accompany difference of sex, though, doubt-
less, very strongly developed in this instance. The male, being provided with swimming
filaments, is usually taken near the surface of the water, while the female is never met
with except in the dredge. Under these circumstances we need scarcely expect to find
the male in the fossil state. ,

sreatest width in the middle; hinge-joints formed apparently by an overlapping of the
dorsal margin of the right valve at each extremity.
One specimen only of this new genus having occurred to us, we are unable to give
its characters with the certainty and minuteness which we could have wished, but an
examination of this single example leaves us unable to assign it to any known genus. It
differs from the Cypridinade in the absence of any antennal notch, and from the
Cytherellide in the structure of the hinge-joint, in the general contour of the shell, and
probably also in the character of the muscle-spots ; but of this latter point we cannot
speak confidently.

PART I.—THE CYPRIDINADA AND ALLIED GROUPS.
INTRODUCTION.
Tue classification of the very numerous Bivalved Entomostraca found in the Car-
boniferous Limestones, Shales, and Ironstones, and submitted to our examination by
numerous friends and correspondents, has been no easy task. Much as, at first sight,
the fossil oval carapace-valves, notched on the anterior edge, may resemble some of the
existing Cypridinade, we have to recollect that, even among the latter, generic discrimi-
nation by means of the shell (test or bivalved carapace) is almost impossible. So great is
the modification of the shape of valves in any one group, and so little is the persistency
among them of any one feature or character, or any set of features, that, except in a very
general manner, we may not even take either the “notch” or the contour as a guide,
not knowing the soft parts of the animal, remarkable as the similarity may sometimes
be between the old and the modern shells.
It is impossible to group many even of the recent “ notched ” forms under the genus
Cypridina, in accordance with the requirements of natural classification, by regarding
only one character; for from the limbs and other organs are taken the main features
of distinction between Cypridina, Philomedes, Bradycinetus, and Asterope, all formerly
grouped as Cypriding. Evidently, therefore, we cannot say for certain that the
extremely old Cypridinade of the Carboniferous Period, which preceded those of our
day by countless generations, susceptible of numberless variations, are generically the same
as those now living.
To escape this difficulty, and not to fall into error, we once thought of adopting such a
term as “ Cypridinopsis ” for all these Cypridina-like forms, whether really allied to one
more than to another of the genera above alluded to—relationships which the absence of
the limbs prevents us from defining with exactness. But several subgeneric terms
A
») CARBONIFEROUS ENTOMOSTRACA.
would have been required, indicating apparent approximations to existing forms; and no
advantage in the saving of names would have accrued.
Making the most, then, of the carapace-characters among the fossil Cypridina-like
species, and referring them on that basis to their apparent congeners among the published
existing forms, we find several which appear to be related to Cypridina (both oval and
pyriform), and a few to Bradycinetus and Philomedes. Rhombina is a related Cypridinad.
Five kinds of Cypridinal carapace among the Carboniferous specimens have additional
features, constituting distinctive characters not known among recent Cypridinads; and
thus give grounds for Cypridinella, Cypridellina, Cypridella, Cyprella, and Sulcuna. ‘Two
well-marked mutual allies, Hxtomoconchus and Offa, are neighbours of the Cypridinade ;
and the recent Polycope is represented. Others of more obscure relationship occur, such
as Lntomis, with its deep dorsal sulcus.
We need not hesitate in carefully referring these recent and fossil Entomostraca to
the same zoological groups, inasmuch as Cythere and Bairdia are represented by even
Silurian carapace-valves ; and we may add that ‘Cypridinad@ (not yet described) occur
in the Upper Silurian strata of the Pentland Hills in Scotland, and in the old pebbles
of Silurian or Devonian quartzite in the Conglomerate of Budleigh-Salterton im Devon-
shire.
Taking, then, the simply notched, oval, oblong, and pyriform specimens as Cypri-
dine, we find a peculiarly notched and oval species representing Bradycinetus, and
some oblong impressed specimens equal to Phlomedes. A modification of the pyriform
Cypridine by the projection of the antero-ventral region marks Cypridinella ; intervention
of a subcentral tubercle gives us Cypridellina ; and the superadded nuchal furrow, with
augmented tuberculation, characterizes Cypridelia. The tubercle is foreshadowed in an
occasional specimen of Cypridina, and we see the nuchal impression faintly in the
Philomedes ; but, with the high probability that the limbs differed, we take these slight
links in their broadest developmental sense, and not as indicating direct alliance.
The addition of an external annulated ornament brings us from Cypridella to
Cyprella ; and Sulcuna differs from Cypridella in its peculiar sulcus.
Returning to Cypridina we trace modifications of the antero-inferior region, beneath
the “ notch,” either by a lessening (as in our C. drevimentum), such as obtains in most of
the recent forms, or by increased projection, faintly exhibited in the living C. Zelandica,
Baird, and C. duteola, Dana, but in many of the fossils so extremely produced that the
antero-ventral quarter stands out like the prow of such an armoured ship as the modern
“Ram,” typified by the American “ Merrimac” and “Monitor.” This modification
characterizes our Oypridinella.
In another direction the Cypridinal carapace, becoming very gibbous and subquadrate
or globose, has a faint “notch,” but a long vertical “gape,” and is recognized as
Entomoconchus ; further, in this kind of subglobose carapace, with the ‘ sinus” present,
but the “gape” reduced to a minimum, we have Offa.
INTRODUCTION—CYPRIDINAD. 3
The recent Polycope, characterized by its limbs as belonging to a different family to
that of the Cypridinade, has a globose shell, with no notch, only an obsolete sinus ;
and among the Carboniferous fossils there are several to match this kind of carapace.
There are also some oblong forms, with oblique ends, which we name Rhombina, and
believe to be related both to Cypridina and to some older genera known in the Silurian
rocks of Bohemia.
To render the recognition and classification of the recent and fossil Cypridinade and
their allied groups more clear, we here indicate what is known of the existing forms,
especially as far as the features of the Carapace are concerned.
The Osrracopa are divided by G. O. Sars and G. S. Brady into four great
groups.
I. Popocora, comprising the Cypride and the Cytheride.— This is by far the
most extensive of the four sections, including all the freshwater and a vast majority of the
marine Ostracoda, and embracing all the forms classed by the earlier writers under the
two great genera Cypris and Cythere” (Brady, p. 855). The characters based on limbs
and other organs are enumerated at p. 355, &., of Mr. G. S. Brady’s memoir “ On the
Recent British Ostracoda,” in the ‘Trans. Lin. Soc.,’ vol. xxvi (1868).
1. Cypride.— Valves mostly thin and smooth, more or less sinuate below ”
(Brady, op. cit., p. 359).
2. Cytheride.—< Shell mostly hard and compact, calcareous ; surface generally
more or less rough and uneven, occasionally quite smooth” (Brady, op. cit.,
p. 393).
II. Myopocora, embracing the Cypridinade and Concheciade [and the Entomo-
conchide.|—‘ This group comprises the forms of which the genus Cypridina is the type,
the characters indicating a higher organization and presenting well-marked differences,
which show an approach to the higher order Branchiopoda” (Brady, op. cit., 355).
1. Cypridinade.—« Shell mostly hard and compact in structure, smooth or punc-
tate, and sometimes beset with short hairs, notched at the antero-inferior
angle, so that when the valves are closed there remains still a large aperture
for the protrusion of the lower antenne ” (Brady, op. cat., p. 462).
1. Cypripina, J/ilne- Edwards.
“ Carapace produced in front into a more or less prominent beak, with a subjacent
hollow or notch facing the ventral margin ” (Brady, ‘ Trans. Zool. Soc.,’ vol. v, p. 386).
4 CARBONIFEROUS ENTOMOSTRACA.
“Shell smooth, thin, and flexible ; notch shallow ; its posterior extremity only slightly
exserted ”’ (Brady, ‘Proc. Zool. Soc.,’ 1871, p. 291). Looking at the series of recog-
nized Cypridine, we are inclined to think that there are two leading forms of carapace:
1. The elongate-pyriform, such as C. Reynaudii, C. elongata, and C. Bairdii; and, 2,
the oval-oblong, such as C. Norvegica and C. Japonica.
2. Partomepss, Lilljeborg.
“Valves elongated, thin; notch broad; anterior extremity obtuse ” (Brady, p. 462).
“Shell of moderate strength and density ” (Brady, ‘ Proc. Zool. Soc.,’ 1871, p. 291).
3. AsteRopE,’ Philippi.
“Shell elongated, fusiform, or subcylindrical; beak rounded, not at all produced ”
(Brady, ‘Trans. Lin. Soc.,’ vol. xxvi, p. 464; Cylindroleberis and Asterope, ‘ Proc. Zool.
Soc.,’ 1871, p. 292). This genus appears to be one of the most consistent in form and
structure of carapace.
4. Brapycinetus, G. O. Sars.
“Shell thicker and more compact than in the preceding genera (Asterope and Philo-
medes) ; notch deep, with setose margins” (Brady, ‘Trans. Lin. Soc.,’ xxvi, p. 466).
“Shell much denser than in Cypridine, punctate; notch deep” (Brady, ‘ Proc. Zool.
Soc., 1871, p. 291).
5. Eourypyxus, G. S. Brady.
“Valves hard, calcareous ; closely pitted on the surface, without a notch. Carapace
rounded (oval) on side view; anterior end slightly produced, with a short blunt beak ;
posterior rounded ; seen from above clavate, broadly rounded in front, and attenuate
behind” (Brady, ‘Les Fonds de la Mer,’ 1869, p. 141). Though little is known of the
soft parts, Mr. Brady is satisfied that Zurypylus is a Cypridinad.
1 Mr. Brady thinks that this genus might with propriety be made the type of a distinct family.
INTRODUCTION—CONCHCCIADA, ETC. 5
2. Concheciade —“ Shell very thin and flexible, neither horny nor calcareous, but
almost membranaceous, more or less distinctly notched and emarginate in
front, forming an orifice, through which, as in the preceding family, the lower
antenn are protruded whilst swimming ” (Brady, op. cit., p. 468).
1. Concnacia, Dana.
“Valves elongated [subrectangular in outline], produced in front into a beaked
process ; shell finely reticulated, or marked with concentric striz ; very slightly pilose.
Dorsal surface of the carapace flattened in front, sometimes slightly excavated and keeled ”
(Brady, op. cit., p. 469).
2. Hatocypris, Dana.
Valves thin, subquadrate, saddle-shaped; more or less beaked in front at the upper
angle.
3. Entomoconchide.-’
Carapace strong and large, gibbous, subquadrate or suborbicular in side-view.
1. Enromoconcuus, M‘Coy. [Known only in the fossil state. |
Carapace subglobose, hinged by overlap; notched in front with a slight beak, and
long, vertical, interrupted gape.
2. Herzropesmvs, G. S. Brady.
“Carapace subglobose. Dorsal margin slightly arched, forming at its extremities
two largely developed hinge-processes ; the anterior process somewhat waved and scroll-
like ; the posterior a truncate cone, projecting directly upwards. Ventral margin strongly
arched ”’ (Brady, ‘Trans. Zool. Soc.,’ vol. v, p. 387). Mr. Brady regards Heterodesmus
as closely related to the Cypridinade, though not yet wholly elucidated; and he has
suggested the alliance with Hntomoconchus as above.

6 CARBONIFEROUS ENTOMOSTRACA.
III. Cuapocopa, having the Polycopide only —‘“‘ The type of this group is Polycope,
a genus recently described by G. O. Sars, which occurs on some parts of the coasts of
the British Islands and Norway, and in the Mediterranean ” (Brady, ‘Trans. Lin. Soc.,’
XXVi, p. 356).
1. Polycopide.—* Valves subequal, thin, not notched in front” (Brady, op. cvt.,
p. 470).
Ponycorsg, G. O. Sars.
“Valves rounded, ventricose, thin, and fragile, corneo-calcareous” (Brady, op. cit.,.
p- 470).
IV. Puarycopa, having the Cytherellide only.—‘ This group is typified by the
genus Cytherella, known, before Sars’s researches, only from fossil specimens ”’ (Brady,
op. cit., p. 317).
1. Cytherellide.—“ Valves unequal, very thick and calcareous, not notched in
front ” (Brady, op. cit., p. 472).
CYTHERELLA (Jones), Bosquet.
“Valves elongated, flattened, thick and hard, very unequal; the right much larger
than the left, and overlapping throughout the whole circumference, presenting round the
entire inner margin a distinct groove, into which the valve of the opposite side is received ”
(Brady, op. cit., p. 472).
The following Synopsis of existing Genera and Species will aid the student in his.
search through the somewhat scattered bibliography of those recent Ostracoda which are
concerned with the present Part of our Monograph.

calcareous when fossil; ovate, oblong-oval, elongate-oval, or pyriform ; apiculate behind ;
notch distinct in front. The fossil are thicker than the recent shells; partly, at least,
from mineralization. Muscle-spot frequently apparent.

a different group of the Entomostraca; that M. Bosquet’s ‘ Cyprelle’ of the Cretaceous
and Tertiary deposits are true Cypriding ; and that De Koninck’s ‘ Cypridina’ (of the
Carboniferous Limestone) is not the Cypridina of Milne-Edwards. In a courteous
reply to an inquiry with which I lately troubled M. Milne-Edwards, he kindly informed me
that the Cypridina described in the ‘ Hist. Nat. des Crust.’ has really the antero-ventral
notch so characteristic of the genus.” With regard to this important point in the history
of the genus, it is evident that, for want of the early indication of the presence of this
character, several fossil forms have been wrongly allocated by paleontologists. Thus,
besides noticing’ that M’Coy’s Daphnia primeva is a Cypridina, and that M: De

Koninck’s Cypridina Edwardsiana is a Cypridella, his Cypridina annulata a Cyprella, and
his Cypridina concentrica an Entomis, and that numerous Cythere (Tertiary and Creta-
ceous) were formerly called “ Cypridine,’” we must draw attention (as we have elsewhere)
to the fact that none of the Devonian ‘‘Cypridinze” which have given a name toa
formation (‘“ Cypridinen-Schiefer,” &c.) are Cypriding, but for the most part
Entomides, &c. See also “ Paleoz. Biv. Entom.,” Geol. Assoc., 1869, p. 4.
On the other hand, M. Bosquet’s Cyprella ovulata and C. Koninckiana, from the
Chalk of Maestricht (‘ Mém. Soc. Roy. Sciences Liége,’ vol. iv, 1847, p. 373, pl. iv,
figs. 4and 5; and ‘ Mém. Commission Carte Géol. Neerlande,’ vol. 11, 1854, pp, 124, 125),
and his Cyprella Edwardsiana, from the Lower Tertiaries of France (‘ Mém. Cour. Acad.
Roy. Belgique,’ vol. xxiv, 1852, p. 132, pl. 6, fig. 14), are true Cypridine, as now
understood by a wider knowledge of the genus, and especially the recognition of the
notch and beak in M. Milne-Edwards’s typical species. Among known recent species
Cypridina Bairdii, G. S. Brady, is, perhaps, the nearest to the above-mentioned Cypridine
ovulata, Koninckiana, and Edwardsiana (Bosquet).

So many of our fossil Entomostraca have been derived from the Carboniferous
Formations of Scotland, particularly of Lanarkshire, by the energy and kind care of
Dr. Rankin, Messrs. Grossart, Young, Armstrong, Thomson, Hunter, Robertson, and
other friends, that we will here refer to sources of information on the stratigraphy of the
Scotch Coal-fields.
At pages 33 and 34 of the ‘ Monograph of the Fossil Estheriz ”’ (Pal. Soc.), 1862, is
a stratigraphical list of the Coal-measures of Lanarkshire, indicating the range of
Beyrichia, Estheria, and Leperditia (there termed “ Cytheropsis”). Mr. Grossart’s
Cypridina (350 fathoms below the Ell Coal) is also referred to at p. 34, and Dr. Rankin’s
specimen (239 fathoms) at p. 35.
A Synoptical Table or “ Vertical Section of the Carboniferous Rocks in the neigh-
bourhood of Glasgow, showing the distribution of the Bivalve Entomostraca,” was
published in the ‘Trans. Geol. Soc. Glasgow,’ vol. ii (1867), p. 225; and it was re-
issued in an improved form in the Supplement of vol. ili, 1871, by Messrs. John Young
and James Armstrong, descriptive of the vertical range and distribution of the Car-
boniferous Fossils of the West of Scotland.
A Tabular View of the Carboniferous System of Lanarkshire was given by Mr. T.
Davidson, F.R.S., in the ‘ Geologist,’ vol. 11, 1859, p. 466; and of the Lothians in the
‘Geologist,’ vol. i, 1860, p. 239; and a still later conspectus of these Carboniferous

2. Cypripina RADIATA. Sp. nov. Plate V, figs. 6 a—6 f.
Mr. John Young, of Glasgow, has found in a black shale of the Airdrie Blackband
Ironstone of the ‘‘ Upper Coal-measures” of the Glasgow district numerous rusty
longitudinally oval Cypriding, much resembling C. primeva (especially figs. 25 and 27)
in shape, but larger, with deeper and lower notch, and characterized by a beautiful radiate
shell-structure. Being mostly squeezed in the shale, they vary in outline, in relative size,
and in depth of notch. }
The exterior bears a rough, blebby, reticulate surface, with minute subconvex
meshes; and these are often broken away, leaving subhexagonal linear meshes. The
inner lamine of the shell (brown) exhibit groups of vascular radii, consisting of about
fifteen delicate furrows (and their casts), some bifurcate, radiating from a small round
space (a pit, as seen from within), less distinct in some specimens and most apparent in
the scaled interior of others. Where the furrows are coarse there are about seven or
eight of these vascular stars across the valve, and nine or ten along its length, irregular
and alternate, the ends of one set of rays just touching those of the neighbouring groups.
The stars vary in size, and in the length, tenuity, straightness, and number of their rays,
even in one specimen.
Length 4, height 4, thickness 5/5. Proportions 12: 8: 3.7
In this bituminous shale of the so-called “Freshwater Series” of the local Carbo-
niferous group, thirty-three fathoms below the Ell Coal, besides C. radiata, are other
smaller Cypridine (?) and Beyrichia arcuata, also Anthracosia and remains of Fishes and
Reptiles.
Similar Cypridine with radiate structure have been discovered by Mr. W. Molyneux,
F.G.S., of Burton-on-Trent, in laminated and rusty bituminous shales (of the “‘ Hematite’
series) belonging to the English Coal-measures, at Ipstones, North Staffordshire. In some
soft, drab-coloured concretions in similar shales from Lowndes’ Pit, Ipstones, Mr. Molyneux
has also found a subglobular pitted Cypridina (imperfect), which may be of the same
species.
3. Cypripina WricuTiana. Sp.nov. Plate II, figs. 14 a, 4, ¢.
Carapace-valve oval-oblong, somewhat compressed, boldly curved above and behind,

A grey shell in grey Carboniferous Limestone, Cork, Ireland; collected by Mr. Joseph
Wright, F.G.S. It differs from C. primeva in its straight ventral edge, large open sinus,
and small gape ; and it is dedicated to its discoverer, one of the most enthusiastic of col-
lectors and students of the Carboniferous and other fossils of Ireland. ‘To Mr. Wright’s
energy and liberality we owe a very considerable portion of the large number of the
Carboniferous Cypridinads, besides other Entomostraca, that have come under our
examination.

Carapace-valve gently gibbous, subovate in outline, truncate in front, where the sinus
cuts away, as it were, the lower portion of a semicircular curve, leaving a strong trian-
gular beak and a perpendicular margin beneath it. Yet the gape or fissure does not
seem to have been large (fig. 13 4). A slight local elevation or faint knob is expressed in
the antero-dorsal region, somewhat modifying the otherwise symmetrically convex outline
of that part of the valve. This slight tubercle is not without its meaning in relation to
the far more extensively tuberculate and swollen Cypridelle and Cypridelline hereafter
to be noticed. End-view of carapace suboval ; edge-view acute-ovate.

This species, represented by a grey shell in grey limestone, differs markedly in
contour and in form of “notch” from C. Wrightiana and its other associates in the
Carboniferous Limestone of Little Island, Cork. It was also collected by Mr. Joseph
Wright, F.G.S.; and it is named after our accomplished friend, Mr. G. S. Brady of
Sunderland, who has favoured us with much help in the study of these and other
fossil Entomostraca.
5. CYPRIDINA BREVIMENTUM. Sp. nov. Plate II, figs. 15—19.
Carapace compressed egg-shaped ; valves varying in outline from oval (figs. 15 and
16) to oval-oblong (figs. 17—-19); arched or curved on each margin, though sometimes
nearly straight below; elliptically and often obliquely curved behind; broadly convex on
the dorsal line ; deeply cut by a sinus in front, with the lower (antero-ventral) region sloping
away downwards and backwards with acurved outline. The smaller (younger) and most
oval specimens (fig. 16, &.) have the greatest loss in this region, and the relatively most
projecting beak; and thus present an even more chinless outline than the larger indi-
16 CARBONIFEROUS ENTOMOSTRACA.
viduals (figs. 19, &.). A gape of moderate proportions (indicated in the outlines, figs.
16 4 and 19 4) accompanies this deep sinus. Some valves (fig. 18) have a slight
marginal rim on the ventral edge. End-view obovate; edge view compressed ovate, and
nearly oblong-oval in the fine old specimen, fig. 19 c, which has its surface somewhat
depressed across the middle.
In the males of Pdilomedes interpuncta (Baird), and in Cypridina Reynaudi,
M.-Edwards, and C. Bairdit, Brady, the antero-ventral region of the carapace slopes away
rapidly backwards, as in C. drevimentum; but there are no other mutual characters of
similarity.
This species, gregarious like many other Cypridinads, is evidently of common occur-
rence in the Mountain-limestone of Ireland, England, and Belgium. ‘Taken according
to gradations in shape—
Fig. 16 (the smallest) is a grey shell in grey limestone from Cork (Mr. Joseph Wright,
F.G.S.). It is a fifth too large to be M‘Coy’s Daphnia primeva, and differs from it

there are two others similar, one a cast and one with a film of shell remaining (fig. 19),
from the same place.
Fig. 17 is a grey shell in the grey limestone of Cork, collected by Mr. Joseph
Wright, F.G.S. This species is plentiful at Little Island.

CYPRIDINA GROSSARTIANA, J. and K., 1867. Trans. Geol. Soc. Glasgow, vol. ii, p.
218; and vol. iii, Suppl., p. 27, 1871.
Carapace ovate-oblong; moderately gibbous, but compressed along the margins,
especially anteriorly ; broadest (deepest) in the front half; but the antero-dorsal or
nuchal region suddenly sinks in before it curves off into the beak or penthouse over the
strongly marked notch. The gape seems to have been small. End-view acute-oval ;
edge-view long-acute-ovate.

The nuchal depression, giving a somewhat hump-backed appearance to the carapace,
is present also to a great or less extent in some recent Cypridinads. We know of no
species like C. Grossartina in form of valve and shape of beak.
We name this species after Mr. W. Grossart, Surgeon, of Salsburg, Lanarkshire, who
collected it near Blackburn, a mile and a half south-east ‘of Bathgate, Linlithgowshire,
from ironstone-shale six feet above the “‘ Eurypterus Limestone,’ and 345 fathoms under
the Ell Coal.

Carapace-valve broadly oblong ; subcompressed, semicircular behind ; curved below ;
nearly straight on the back; posterior broader and fuller than the anterior, where a neat
median notch (the projection is slightly lessened by injury in this specimen) forms a
large gape (fig. 11 4).
The specimen consists of a cast of the interior, retaining a small fragment of the
shell posteriorly, and showing a distinct, large, radiate Muscle-spot in the antero-ventral
region. The radii are longer on the hinder than on the front half of the spot, the centre of
convergence being towards the front. End-view of the carapace acute-oval ; edge-view
compressed ovate, broadest behind.
Length 2; height +; thickness $ inch. Proportions 13 : 9}: 6.
This was found by Mr. James Thomson, of Glasgow, at Gare, Carluke, in the Upper
Limestone-shale, 202 fathoms below the Ell Coal. It is named after Mr. John Young,
the energetic Assistant-curator of the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow, who has worked
assiduously in collecting, classifying, and elaborating the Carboniferous Entomostraca of
the Glasgow District.

Shells and casts of this species (dedicated to Prof. John Phillips, F.R.S., whose name
is so intimately connected with Carboniferous fossils and Geology in general) are not
uncommon in the Carboniferous Limestone near Glasgow, and it occurs also in that of
Middleton, Co. Cork, Ireland (Mr. Joseph Wright), and of Visé, in Belgium (British
Museum).

the junction of the valves, at the postero-ventral curve, probably representing the place
of a spine or prickle.

from the débris of decomposed limestone in the large crevices traversing the rock.
These once formed subterranean watercourses, and the limestone has been extensively
disintegrated by the solvent and mechanical action of the water, the organic particles
resisting destruction more successfully than the matrix.

On account of its general form this specimen was at first associated with Rhomébina,
but it wants the antero-dorsal projection and the retiring antero-ventral line, and its
obscure notch was ultimately discerned. Cypridina scoriacea (supra) is one of the few
compressed Cypridine that offer any features for comparison.
CYPRIDINELLA. 21
II. CYPRIDINELLA. Genus novum.
The foregoing oval-oblong Cypridine (Nos. 1—18) have rounded hind quarters, with
occasional evidences of a posterior spine ; and their antero-ventral margin is rarely produced
as far as the vertical line of the beak. Several recent analogues for the members of this
group have been pointed out above. We now have to treat of another group in which the
carapaces are not oblong; they have always a more or less produced hinder margin, either
apiculate and indented, or spined at the postero-ventral margin of each valve; and their
front margin is produced, often to a considerable extent, as a prow. Excepting that the
oval-oblong Cypridina Zelandica, Baird, and C. luteola, Dana, have the lower front margin
rather more prominent than other known living forms, we are without a recent analogue
for these smooth, ovate, apiculate Cypridine ; the long, sharp-tailed, recent forms, such
as C. Reynaudi, elongata, Bairdii, &c., having no chin-like projection under the notch.
There is a closer alliance in form between the group under notice and the next two
groups than between it and the foregoing group of Cypridina proper.
Judging, therefore, by the features of the carapace, which alone remains for our
examination, we determine to separate the group in question as a genus, under the name
CypripiInELLA, knowing that the differences of the soft parts of the Cypridinads
are so great among the various forms as to be an additional basis of probability for a
real generic distinction.
The following seven species are arranged according to the increasing projection of
the lower front margin. Cypridinella clausa and C. Maccoyiana are apiculate and
indented behind ; the others elliptically rounded, and probably once spined.

a greater or less extent at the antero-ventral region, Cypridina Zelandicais the nearest recent
type, and Cypridinella Cummingii is one of the most symmetrical and least exaggerated
at the lower portion of the front, among the fossils; thus it more closely approximates to
the said recent species than several of its ius in the Carboniferous Limestone,
which become almost grotesque in the prow-like character of the front, as in naval rams,
like the “‘ Merrimac ” and “ Monitor.” Thus they belong to a peculiar group, separate from
Cypridina proper; indeed, the exact generic place of the recent type above mentioned
has not been determined, for it was characterised by its carapace alone, before the
study of the limbs had been carried to as great a nicety as naturalists now find necessary.
Two casts, somewhat ferruginous (one rather smaller than the figured specimen),
occur in dark grey limestone, with Encrinites and small Shells, from Poolvash, Isle of

Phillipsiana, De Koninck, Cypridina annulata, De Kon., and Daphnia primeva (?),
M‘Coy, in the same work, at pp. xxiv, 355, as being most probably the same as
C. primeva (M‘Coy).
In specimens of this same limestone, kindly sent to us by Mr. E. W. Binney, F.R.S.,
we have met with a valve, not well exposed, of Cypridina primeva (*), and an im-
perfectly preserved valve of a small compressed Extomoconchus.
2. CYPRIDINELLA SUPERCILIOSA. Sp. nov. Plate II, figs. 7 a—c; Plate V, figs. 7 a—d.
Carapace-valves convex, broad-oval or subovate ; indented in front, above the middle,
with a deep, narrow notch, slanting upwards, and bordered by a distinct marginal rim.
The lower portion of the front of the figured specimen is partly imbedded and not fully
exhibited in fig. 7a; but it stands out with a bold though variable curve in specimens
from Settle and Bathgate. The ventral margin is bordered by a furrow and a rim in a
large valve from Bathgate (Pl. V, fig. 7). Edge- and end-view are both sharp-ovate, the
former the longer.

Cypridinella superciliosa is less convex and rounder in side-view than C. ovalis ; and
its deep-cut and neatly bordered or rimmed notch is a good distinction. It has been

collected at Little Island, Cork, by Mr. Joseph Wright, F.G.S.; and Mr. W. Grossart,
of Salsburg, has been so fortunate as to meet with several good specimens, and, indeed,
gregarious masses, of this species in the light-grey Lower Carboniferous Limestone at
Bathgate, Linlithgowshire. Like many other Bivalve Entomostraca, this species
evidently constitutes a large proportion of its limestone mass. Mr. Burrow has also
found this specimen in the Great Scar Limestone at Settle, Yorkshire.
The shells of some specimens in the Bathgate Limestone are marked with numerous
minute, round, and vermicular white spots (fig. 7 d), beneath the smooth surface originally,
both wearing away into roughness. Whether this be due to decay of structure or to
parasitical borings we have not determined.
3. CYPRIDINELLA cLAUSA. Sp. nov. Plate III, figs. 3 a—e.
Carapace ovato-globose, indented in front with a broad shallow sinus and a very narrow
notch, retreating obliquely upwards; bluntly pointed behind, with a slightly upturned
apex, somewhat like the posterior angle of Dana’s Cypridina punctata and others. Side-
view subovate ; edge-view acute-ovate ; end-view broad-obovate.
Length 4; height 4; thickness 3 inch. Proportions 8 : 53 : 5.
A grey cast in the limestone of Little Island, Cork; collected by Mr. J.
Wright, F.G.S. C. clausa occurs also at Middleton, Co. Cork.
4. CYPRIDINELLA Bosqurti. Sp. nov. Plate III, figs. 6 a, 4, e.
Carapace egg-like, very gibbose, almost equal-ended, but the front is excavated, high
up, with well-marked sinus and notch, overhung by a small, neatly curved beak. Side-
view ovate ; edge-view broad-oval; end-view suborbicular, slightly flattened at the top.
Length +; height +; thickness $ inch. Proportions 11: 7 : 8.
Somewhat like Cypridina Norvegica and C. Zelandica in general style, but more
egg-shaped, too gibbose, with too much prow, and too small a gape, to resemble either
closely.
This very neatly egg-shaped Cypridinella, represented by a cast from the white Upper
Mountain-limestone of Visé, Belgium, sent to us by M. J. Bosquet, F.C.G.S., of Maestricht,
we dedicate to him. By his liberality and friendly co-operation M. Bosquet has enabled
us to study a large series of the typical Belgian Entomostraca, and bring them, as in
this case, into direct comparison with our British specimens.
C. ovalis, superciliosa, clausa, and Bosqueti, have the ventral border semicircular or
elliptical, with the anterior edge curved boldly upwards. The next group we have to

describe, namely, C. Maccoyiana, Burrovii, Monitor, and vomer, have the ventral margin,
for the most part, less convex, and sometimes nearly flat, with a strongly projecting
prow.
5. Cypripinetta Maccoyiana. Sp. nov. Plate III, figs. 13 a, 0.
Carapace subglobose ; suboblong in side-view ; curved on the dorsal margin ; bluntly
apiculate, with a curved indentation, at the posterior angle; notched high up in front,
with the lower portion of the anterior margin curving boldly outwards and downwards to
meet the nearly straight, but somewhat sinuous, ventral border. Neither valve has an
elevated tubercle, but the right valve is slightly more convex than the other in the specimen.
Length $; height $; thickness ;'5 inch. Proportions 9 : 6 : 4.
This smaller species imitates C. clausa in some features, but not nearly enough to be
taken for its young state. In the notch and front margin also they differ considerably.
C. Maccoyiana is known by several shells and casts in the grey limestone of Little Island,
Cork ; collected by J. Wright, Esq., F.G.S.
We name this species after Prof. F. M’Coy, F.G.S., of Melbourne, who has brought
very many genera and species of the Carboniferous Fossils of Ireland to notice, besides
working extensively in other fields of Paleontology.
6. CypripineLLaA Monitor. Sp. nov. Plate III, figs. 1 a, 4.
Carapace subpyriform, boldly curved above and below, but most convex above;
bluntly apiculate low down behind; sharply pointed in the prow-like antero-inferior
projection ; front sloping downwards and outwards from the dorsum to the prow, with a
hollow curve, and having a small notch and beak above the middle line. At the posterior —
angle, in some specimens from Settle, there is the indication of the base of a posterior
spine ; and in some casts a small fissure exists between the valves, with a subtriangular
stone core, which has reference to the former existence at this spot of a hollow projecting
angle of the carapace-valves, such as occurs in several Bivalve Entomostraca, and among
the Cypridine especially noticeable in the recent C. Bairdii, Brady, and the fossil
C. Koninckiana (Bosquet).
Length 3; height ¢; thickness 2? inch. Proportions 15 : 11 : 18.
The prow of this compact carapace forcibly reminds us of the modern iron-clad
mastless men-of-war typified by the American “ Monitor.”
Our figured specimen is from Visé, Belgium, thanks to our friend M. J. Bosquet, of
Maestricht. It is a white cast, with a film of white shell here and there. Similar casts

from Settle is another, also less globose than our fine Belgian specimen.
7. CYPRIDINELLA VOMER. Sp. nov. Plate III, figs. 11 a—e.
Carapace-valve obliquely subpyriform in outline; moderately convex ; depressed and
produced antero-ventrally, so that the front slopes down to the straight ventral edge,
making a sharp prow like a ploughshare. A narrow, distinct, almost horizontal notch,
cuts deeply into the upper half of the front ; the edges of the notch are slightly rimmed
or thickened. Edge-view of carapace acute-ovate ; end-view oval.

III. CYPRIDELLINA. Genus novum.
Carapace suboviform ; notched in front; produced in the antero-ventral region; the
valves locally swollen into a tubercle or circular subcentral hump above the median line.
Prof. De Koninck in 1844 founded a genus under the name of Cypridella, typified
by his C. eruciata, which is a subquadrate Cypridinad with tubercular swellings on its
valves and a strong nuchal furrow. His Cypridina Edwardsiana also has the furrow and
tubercles, although associated with the same general shape as that of the smooth
Cypridinella above described. ‘Thus we are led to associate the two species in one genus,
distinct from both Cypridina and Cypridinella, which, either among the recent species of
the one or those described above of both genera, very occasionally show any feature
analogous to the furrow or the tubercle (see Cypridina Hunteriana, Pl. V, fig. 3; and
C. Bradyana, P\. Il, fig. 13).
We find, however, a set of Cypridinal forms corresponding in general features with
the smooth suboviform Cypridinelle (of which we take Cypridina Zelandica, Baird, to be
an approximate existing type), but with the tubercle only, and without the nuchal furrow,
present. These want, then, an important feature present in Cypridella of De Koninck ;
and we now divide them off as a group under the cognate name of CYPRIDELLINA,
intermediate to Cypridinella (see above) and Cypridella, De Koninck, and, at the same
time, to some extent related to Cypridina, Milne-Edwards.
We are aware that this distinction is in some degree artificial, and that (as before
intimated) the presence of either nuchal furrow or subcentral hump, in faint degree, is to
D
26 CARBONIFEROUS ENTOMOSTRACA.
be recognized among some of the foregoing genera and species. But, knowing how
greatly these may have differed one from the other im the arrangement and details of
limbs, and believing that tubercle and furrow were not without their meaning in the
economy of the living animal, we prefer to seize on them as characteristics in these
unknown organisms.
At the same time, if, besides relative size, the tubercles, and even the dorsal furrows,
are the consequences of luxuriant growth, or of age, or of sex, we shall avoid error by
giving similar trivial names to the seeming analogues in the three different series
(1, smooth ; 2, tubercled ; and 3, tubercled, with furrow), taking care to be guided by the
shape and general habit in making specific distinctions.
We have to add that some of the smaller individuals are tubercled, whilst their
smooth analogue is of larger size; for example, Pl. III, figs. 7 and 10, compared with
fig. 11. Hence the tubercles are not the result of mere growth; and the differences in
other features should have the more weight.
There is evidently a great temptation to the condensing palzontologist to group
together the three sections that we have here indicated, seeing that the tubercle is very
slightly developed in PI. III, fig. 5, that the extremely tuberculate Cypridella Edwardsiana
(Pl. IV, fig. 4) approximates in shape to the smooth Cypridinella Cummingu (PI. II, fig. 23),
and that the furrow is almost obsolete in Pl. IL, fig. 12. This last form, too, may be
compared with Cypridina Bradyana (Pl. Il, fig. 18) and Pl. IV, fig. 1, with Pl. III,
figs. 9, 18, and 19; but, nevertheless, important differences, as to notch and prow, are
evident, besides the presence of tubercles ; and none of the Cypridine nor Cypridinelle are
really comparable with a Cypridellina except in the case of Cypridellina clausa (PI. II, figs.
2 and 3), and even there the notch differs, and the specimens are not good enough for
a perfect decision.
Further, if these proposed generic distinctions fail, there is but a very narrow basis
indeed for the separation of species in this extensive group of empty carapace-valves ; the
differences of form being, for the most part, susceptible of a graduated arrangement,
which, the tubercles and furrows being ignored, and the high probability of great varia-
tion in the soft parts bemg forgotten, would lead to an exceedingly artificial grouping, of
but little use im reality. After all, it would be found necessary to recognize some
subordinate divisions of long and short, thin or thick, oval or pyriform individuals, which
would have still to stand for types of genera or sub-genera; and, as we have stated
already in alluding to the Cypridinads generally (pages 1 and 2), no saving in nomenclature
would be made.
The following species are arranged according to the development of their lower front
margin in projection and depth. C. clausa, Burrovii, and galea are more or less
apiculate, with posterior indentation; the others appear to have been spined on their
rounded ends.
CYPRIDELLINA. 27
1, CypripELLina cLausa. Sp. nov. Plate III, figs. 2 a, 4, ce.
Carapace roughly egg-shaped ; suboblong in side-view; sloping in front, obscurely
notched (broken below in the specimen) ; hinder margin apiculate and strongly indented.
Tubercle large, but not prominent. Hdge-view subacute-ovate. Fig. 24 shows the
ventral aspect of this injured specimen; its dorsal aspect would be much like fig. 18 4,
but more pointed behind, and showing the posterior depression. Hnd-view sub-
pentagonal.
In some respects this resembles Cypridinella clausa, Plate III, fig. 3, p. 23; but without
the swelling of the tubercles its end-profile would have been orbicular instead of oval ;
and its notch is higher and more horizontal.

2. CYPRIDELLINA Burrovir. Sp. nov. Plate III, figs. 4 a—e; figs. 5 a—c; figs.
a1 a—e.
We have here individuals of one species at three stages of growth, well preserved as
far as internal casts can serve, and well illustrated for comparison; fig. 5 retaining
portions of the shell. The smallest (youngest?) form, fig. 4, is subovate in profile ; the
largest ‘(fig. 21) is ovate-oblong; less boldly curved above and below, more apiculate
behind, and with a relatively smaller notch and gape than the other. Both are sub-
oviform, with subhexagonal end-view, and pyriform edge-view ; and each had posterior
spines, as they retain the cast of their united base, which, however, in fig. 4 d, is rather
higher up than in fig. 21 e. The prow, also, of fig. 4 ¢ projects somewhat further beyond
the beak than in fig. 21 c, and the hind-quarters of fig. 21 e (the largest specimen) are
rounder than those of fig. 4 d.
None of these differences, however, in the presence of the many similarities, can be
of specific importance. Moreover, there is the intermediate form presently to be described ;
and we have, besides, an individual, still smaller than fig. 4, of the same form from
Ireland, which is rather more apiculate behind, and two middle-sized specimens (smaller
than fig. 5) from Settle, whence the three figured fossils came. From M. Bosquet’s
Belgian collection, also, we have been favoured with two casts, one in the grey and one
in the white limestone of Visé, similar to fig. 4.
The specimen of intermediate size, fig. 5, has a subglobose, nearly egg-shaped
28 CARBONIFEROUS ENTOMOSTRACA.
carapace, semicircular above in outline, elliptical behind, almost straight below, and flat
enough to stand on its ventral face. Its antero-ventral margin is produced, prow-like ;
the sinus is broadly curved, but the beak has been much reduced by fracture in fig. 5 a.
Rather above the middle of the posterior margin is the round spot, formed by a small
indentation in the edge of each valve, with its central core of stone, and corresponding
with the base of a hollow conical process, formed of two more or less terete and approxi-
mate spines, such as we see in several Cypridinads ; for instance, Philomedes interpuncta.
Edge-view pyriform ; end-view suborbicular, with a tendency towards hexagonal.
Portions of the eroded shell remain on the dorsal and ventral regions (fig. 5 a), and
we can see evidence of a small inturned flange on the ventral edges, with a minutely
crenulate parallel edging or border (not clearly shown in the figures). There is also
clearly discernible a low hump in each antero-dorsal region, affecting the end-profile of
the carapace, and somewhat below it is a roughness at about the usual position of the
muscle-spot.
This specimen has the same proportions as fig. 4; it is more rotund than fig. 21 :
excepting that its tubercle is not so strongly pronounced, and its posterior spine was
higher up than in fig. 21, and lower than in fig. 4, we see no essential difference between
them.

The figured specimens of Cypridellina Burrovii are from the Lower Scar Limestone of
Settle, Yorkshire ; collected by Mr. J. H. Burrow, M.A., who has worked the district
geologically with great success, and has favoured us with the use of his extensive collec-
tion. We have, therefore, adopted his name for this characteristic and wide-spread
species.

This small and weak Cypridellina, gregarious in the Derbyshire limestone, presents
strong characters of alliance with the large C. Burrovii above described, and must be
taken for a local variety of the species.
Accompanied by Aviculopecten and some small shells, it constitutes a mass of grey
Carboniferous Limestone, from Longnor, Derbyshire: Tablet 38 in the Museum of
the Geological Survey, London (Geol. Survey Map, Sheet 81, S.E.).

3. CYPRIDELLINA INTERMEDIA. Sp. nov. Plate V, figs. 8 a, 4, c.
This relatively small form seems at first sight to be the tubercled analogue of Cypri-
dinella superciliosa (PI. II, figs. 7 a, 6c); it differs, however, from it in all its profiles,
without reference to the local swelling or tubercle, being more elliptical in side-view and
more compressed in edge-view. It much resembles Cypridellina Burrovii in side-view,
but it is much thinner, and its tubercle is placed farther back.

Carapace elongate, suboviform, somewhat variable in outline ; narrow-elliptical behind,
bearing evidence of a posterior apex or spine. Notched in front, and sloping below the
hood or beak into a prow, at an angle of about 60°. Tubercles strong, rather high up.
Edge-view pyriform ; end-view pentagonal.
Length 7; height 7; thickness inch. Proportions 13: 7: 9.
Several casts in the grey limestone of Visé have been kindly communicated to us by
M. Bosquet, of Maestricht; some retain portions of shell (white), and we see the beak
and tubercles more thoroughly expressed in the carapace than in the cast.
4.* CyPRIDELLINA ELONGATA, Var. Hidernica, nov. Plate III, figs. 9 a—c.
Smaller, feebler, less pronounced in thickness and tubercles, but not otherwise dis-
similar, this must be taken for a local variety of the Belgian C. elongata above noticed.

This is an abundant and variable form, as shells and casts, in the Carboniferous

notch (fig. 10a, much resembling fig. 11), with a hatchet-like curve and large notch
(var. cudtrata, fig. 7 a), or curved still more suddenly downwards with a narrow, blunt,
backward bending angle and a broad shallow sinus (var. wucinata, not figured).
The valves are rather compressed, with a variable convexity, and are faintly |
tubercled high up; the tubercle is almost obsolete in some more convex specimens.

The feebleness of the tubercle reminds us of a weak local elevation on the valves of
Cypridina Bradyana, p. 15; but the shape of Cypridellina vomer is far more closely
analogous to that of Cypridinella vomer, p. 25, without in any case being exactly the same.
We have here rather the touchings of isomorphs than the coalescence of congeneric forms.

This is a cast, imperfect at the notch and hood (not indicated in the sketch), of a
Cypridinella with an extreme condition of the antero-ventral margin, which slopes down-
wards and éackwards from the hood at an angle of 65°, to form a sharp, coulter-like,
vertical prow (too prominent in fig. 20 4); the ventral margin rises rapidly backwards
from it, with an oval outline, to the narrow, rounded, posterior extremity, which was
once probably spined. As the dorsal line is nearly straight, the side profile of the
carapace is ovate-triangular. The tubercle is strong and rather forward.

hended in this revised genus on account of termediate alliances.
In the following arrangement of species we pass from the ovate to the subquadrate
forms (Nos. 1—5), and then take a somewhat abnormal species that looks towards the
next group (Cyprelle). |
Of these Cypridella Koninckiana and C. obsoleta are apiculate and indented behind ;
the others had posterior spines.

Carapace-valves gibbose, tuberculate ; subovate in profile, nearly subtrigonal; acute
behind, broad, and notched in front. Raised into a large subcentral tubercle (in the antero-
dorsal region), with two or more smaller knobs, above and below. Impressed with a
dorsal or nuchal sulcus, passing from the back with an oblique curve across the centre,
and dying out below.
The notch is obscure within the broad sinus of the front in the few specimens we
CYPRIDELLA. 33
have seen. The antero-ventral margin rarely projects beyond the vertical line of the
notch ; it is sharper in.our best specimen than in Prof. De Koninck’s. fig. 2 c, which has
it rounded in a left valve placed with the.anterior edge upwards ; otherwise the outline
agrees with that in our fig. 4@. The main tubercle appears rather higher up in the
Belgian figure than in ours ; andthe ventral tuberclé is not’so low down, nor so large, as
im our figured specimen ; indeed it seems to be linear and subdivided. The sulcus is not
defined by Prof. De Konimck, and the edge-views of his specimen (fig. 2 a, ventral; 2 4,
dorsal) indicate only a slight transverse depression.
Cypridella Edwardsiana has a profile much resembling that of Cypridina Cummingii
(Pl. II, fig. 23); but it is sharper behind, less deeply notched in front, sometimes more
produced antero-ventrally, and is not so convex, although tuberculate.
The small specimen of Cypridella Hdwardsiana, var. septentrionalis, drawn in Pl. V,
figs. 11 a—d, is from the grey Carboniferous Limestone of West Broadstone, Beith,
Ayrshire; collected by Mr. John Young. It is relatively thicker and shorter, with a
more angular edge-view, than figs. 4 a—c, Pl. IV. The “chin” is less developed; the
dorsal tubercle is wanting, but the ventral swelling is considerable, and the central
tubercle, quite as strong as in the Irish specimen, is truncate, as is that also; perhaps
it was originally produced as a lateral spine or prickle. The posterior margin is acuminate.
The worn surface shows numerous, minute, scattered pits, almost quincuncially arranged.
We have no doubt of the specific identity of the specimens alluded to. The differ-
ences can be only varietal at most. The features are more strongly expressed in the Irish
and Scotch specimens than in the Belgian figured specimen; and the British form may
be recorded as Cypridella Edwardsiana, Var. SEPTEN'TRIONALIS,

stone, Scotland (Mr. W. Grossart.and Mr. J. Young), and at neither place is it common.
The shell is preserved, but not perfectly, being minutely honeycombed by the action of
water, giving rise sometimes to a deceptive appearance of granulations under the

This is a well marked species, very common and well preserved in the Carboniferous
Limestone of Little Island and the neighbourhood of Cork, Ireland. Collected by Mr. J.
Wright, F.G.S., and dedicated to the veteran paleontologist of Belgium—Prof. Dr. L.
de Koninck, of Liége, to whom we owe an early acquaintance with some of the most
interesting of the fossil Cypridinade, and of the present genus in particular,

The specimen, retaining a film of much-weathered shell, was collected by Mr. J.
Wright, F.G.S., from the Carboniferous Limestone of Little Island, near Cork; and we
know of none like it among our Cypridinads. The slight expression of its generic
characters (tubercle and furrow) gives rise to its proposed name.

In this little dark-coloured shell from the limestone of Little Island, Cork (Mr. J.
Wright), and in a white cast from Visé (Bosquet), we have a near approach to Cypridella
cruciata, De Koninck.(‘ Mém. Acad. Roy. Belg.,’ vol. xiv, 1841, p. 20, fig. 11, and ‘ Descr.
Crust. foss. Terr..Carb: Relg.,” 1844; p. 590, pl. 52, figs. 7 a—e) from Visé. Our specimens,
however, are smaller, longer in proportion, more egg-shaped and tapering, have much larger
tubercles, less hood, and‘ more gape apparently, and have decidedly far less of the furrow
across the back, which gives the cross-mark to Prof.. De Koninck’s species.
To the energy and discrimination of Mr. Joseph Wright, F.G.S., of Belfast, we owe
the perfect specimen from Cork, and many other of the Entomostraca here described ;
and we record our appreciation of his love of geology and his scientific liberality by
giving his name to this exquisite little fossil Cypridinad.
M. de Koninck’s C. eruciata is represented (/oc. cit., fig. 7 a) by a right-hand valve,
with its front face upwards ; 4 is the anterior face, comparable with our fig.1 ¢; the fig. 7d
shows the posterior extremity with the base of a spine, and e is the dorsal surface,
cross-marked by the hinge-line and’ transverse furrow. It is a rare species. Length 4

5. CYPRIDELLA QUADRATA. Sp. nov. Plate IV, figs. 2 a, 4, ¢.
Carapace quadrate in each profile, bearing a very prominent, globose, nearly central

trifid prow ; somewhat convex on the back; almost straight and flat below ; rounded
behind, and bearing a mark of a spine at the postero-ventral angle ; transverse sulcus
(not shown in the figures) distinct on the back, and especially on the sides behind the
tubercles. There is a trace of a muscle-spot below the tubercle and rather forwards.

carapace acute-irregular-oval ; end-view rhombic.
This much resembles Cyprella chrysalidea, De Kon., in-form ; but it is quite smooth,
having no annulation. It may be regarded either as a link or an isomorph. It is a
light-grey shell from the Carboniferous Limestone of Cork, Ireland. Collected by Mr. J.

V. SULCUNA. © Gen. nov.
The carapace-valves are much like those of Cypridella ‘Wrightii (Pl. IV, fig. 1) in
lateral outline, being ovate-oblong, elliptical behind, and truncate and more or less
indented, with sinus and notch, in front; but the nuchal sulcus is much more definitely
and deeply marked. It passes obliquely downwards and forwards, undercutting
the antero-dorsal region, and raising it into a slanting hump or even a backward-pointing
process.
There is a tendency to point backwards in the subcentral tubercle of some Cypridelle ;
and were the high position of the tubercle (as im Pl. IV, fig. 1) accompanied by a
more backward development than even in Fig. 9, and associated with a strong and
oblique furrow under the tubercle, we should have the main characters of our new
genus.

present an acute-oval outline, with two suboval projections above.

off as a pointed process, tending backwards and outwards. This curious species has a
distant resemblance in outline to a couchant rabbit, with distinct pointed ears. In the
end-view, fig. 8 4, these processes diverge more than in fig. 5 6. In fig. 5 @ the anterior
margin, its dorsal angle being obscured by matrix, is not perfectly shown, and a

VI. CYPRELLA, De Koninck.
CYPRELLA et CYPRIDINA, De Koninck,' 1841, 1844.
CyprELLA, Dupont, 1863.
_ Jones and Kirkby, 1863.
The generic characters of this peculiar form are best understood from the description
of the two species known to us. The general form is that of Cypridinella and Cypri-
dellina, with apiculate and indented end and a truncate front; the latter notched, sloping
downwards, and with either a nearly vertical or a receding antero-ventral margin. There are
also present tubercle and dorsal sulcus, of varying intensities; but the chief character is a
vertical and necessarily annular striation, furrowing, or step-like marking on the carapace.
These parallel lines are more distinct, wider apart, and more step-like in Cyprella
chrysalidea than in C. annulata. C. chrysalidea also has a more hood-like construction
of the antero-dorsal region, over the sinus and notch, than either its fellow species, or
any of the Cypridinads we know of. None of our figures, some of the best of our speci-
mens being crushed casts, express quite so much as we can see in them; and M. De
1M. Cantraine, in reporting, together with M. Dumont, on Prof. De Koninck’s ‘‘ Memoir on the
Carboniferous Crustacea of Belgium,’’ in ‘ Bullet. Acad. Belg.,’ viii, partie lére, p. 801 (1841), expressed
the opinion that Cyprella might be Cypridina, and that Cyprella chrysalidea, De Kon., and Cypridina
annulata, De Kon., might belong to one genus. In the latter opinion we fully coincide.
38 CARBONIFEROUS ENTOMOSTRACA.
Koninck’s somewhat exaggerated curve (in his fig. 6c) is not without meaning in the
representation of the curious Daphnioid hood, as shown also in his fig. 6a. The
structure of sinus and gape there clearly shown appears to be unique, and waits for
elucidation.

Carapace compressed-egg-shaped; subovate in outline, sharp behind ; truncate and
notched, or somewhat rounded and notched, in front ; bearing subcentral tubercles of
greater or less extent and elevation; surface marked with numerous vertically transverse,
parallel striz or furrows, or rather step-like graduated rings, like the body-rings of a
chrysalis. These vary in number in our specimens; fig. 10 has only seven from behind
up to the tubercle, and none beyond, over the anterior quarters of the shell; fig. 11 has
ten or more on the posterior, ané none on the anterior half of the shell; fig. 16 shows
about fourteen over the whole length of the valve, and they are strongly marked as in
fig. 10; fig. 18 also has about fourteen, as in fig 16, whilst figs. 14 and 15 have about
fifteen .or sixteen; and the still more perfect Belgian specimen, figured by Prof. De
Koninck, has eighteen or more clearly indicated from tail to hood.
‘The Belgian casts with which M. Bosquet has favoured us are sketched in figs. 14,
15, and 18, and though somewhat crushed and imperfect, they show the general features
clearly enough [fig. 18 a ought to indicate a trace of the tubercle]. Like them, though
not quite so large, is a well-preserved grey shell (fig. 16) in grey limestone from
Settle, Yorkshire (Mr. J. H. Burrow), fully satisfying paleontologists of the existence
of the Belgian species in the British area during the Lower Carboniferous Period. It
has a rounded hood, low-set notch, and feeble tubercle, but we hesitate to regard these
differences as of specific value.
In fig. 10 we exhibit another but smaller specimen ; a grey shell, in grey limestone,
from Settle (Mr. Burrow). It is like the others, except that the beak is relatively stronger
CYPRELLA. 39
in profile, the breast more retreating, and the rings fewer in number, and investing only
the hinder half of the valve. This is our Var. supannuLata (C. subannulata, Jones, 1870).
In fig. 11 we see a similar shell, dark grey, from Little Island, Cork (Mr. J. Wright,
F.G.S.), rather more convex than the last, with a somewhat stronger tubercle, and
marked by a few more rings on its posterior moiety. This has the definitely apiculate
and indented posterior margin that we see in M. De Koninck’s fig. 6 c.
Fig. 16 and fig. 10 agree in the symmetrically elliptical shape of the hinder
extremity, whilst fig. 11 is indented and apiculate posteriorly, like De Koninck’s original
specimen (his fig. 6c); but figs. 11 and 10 agree as to the form of the beak or hood,
and fig. 16 differs in that point from all, So also figs. 10 and 16 agree as to general
convexity with each other, and with all the Belgian specimens, and their tubercles are
low; whilst fig. 11 has an unusual convexity of the hinder half, and its tubercle also is
strong. We see an extra large tubercle in fig. 15, but this cast (Belgian) is not well
preserved ; and the tubercle is very feeble in fig. 18, also a Belgian cast (compressed).
Looking at all the slight differences above detailed, and weighing them against the
features of mutual resemblance, we must still regard all these specimens as belonging to
one species; suggesting, however, that fig. 10 (from Settle) and fig. 11 (Cork) are
varietal (Var. swbannulata), if not male or young specimens, and that possibly fig. 16 may
also be a local variety.

Cyprella chrysalidea is represented in Prof. De Koninck’s plate 52 by the right
valve (fig. 6 c) with its front upwards, by the dorsal (e) and ventral (a) views of the
carapace, and by two views of natural size (2 and d). It appears to us that the artist
made too strong a line and too free a curve between the hood and the tubercle, as also
in fig. 7 a of the same plate. The curve in fig. 3 we interpret somewhat differently.
See further on, p. 40.
C. chrysalidea is stated by De Koninck to be ten millimetres im length, and to
be very rare at Visé; so also M. E. Dupont refers to it as being very rare in French
Hainault (‘ Bull. Acad. Belg.,’ sér. 2e, vol. xv, p. 110). M. Bosquet has kindly sent us
some Belgian casts of this interesting little fossil.
1 This has been somewhat compressed ; hence a greater height and less thickness, perhaps, than in
the original carapace.

It is not common either at Little Island or Settle, whence Messrs. Wright and Burrow
obtained their specimens respectively. The late Rev. J. G. Cumming found it in the
Poolvash Limestone, Isle of Man, and presented a specimen to the Geol. Mus. Survey,
London, Tablet 38. Another specimen on the same Tablet came from Longnor, Derby-
shire. We have also seen a specimen in the Carboniferous Limestone of Bathgate, Linlith-
gowshire, collected by Mr..Grossart, Surgeon, of Salsburg, Lanarkshire.

Prof. De Koninck has Gate! a left ath (fg 5 a, 6), comparable with our fig. 13 a,
with its front upwards; and the artist has introduced an artificial curve, involving the
antero-dorsal region and the tubercle, and following the line of the strong nuchal furrow,
where it has depressed the dorsal edge. The front margin (upwards) is imperfect, and
therefore rounded, as in our fig. 12 a. The convex ventral margin (on the left hand of
CYPRELLA. AL
the reader), and the apiculate and indented hinder margin (downwards in fig. 3 a, 4), are
very characteristic.
Fig. 12 isa grey valve (showing reticulate sculpture under the microscope, 12 4) in grey
limestone from Cork (Mr. J. Wright, F.G.S.). It seems to be rounded in front, but
is really imbedded in the matrix ; it has a low tubercle, and a strong, broad, transverse
furrow across the surface, the hinder moiety of the valve being very convex.
Fig. 13 is a larger valve, grey, with a suborbicular outline; from the grey limestone
of Settle ; collected by Mr. J. H. Burrow, M.A., who has enriched our list with many
Carboniferous species.
Fig. 17, a grey shell in grey limestone, is more ovate than either of the foregoing,
being narrower in vertical diameter; perhaps a male. It was collected, with afew others,
at Little Island, Cork, by Mr. J. Wright, F.G.S., who has been so successful in his search
in the Carboniferous Limestone of Cork, Ireland.
We have also seen a specimen of this species in Mr. W. Grossart’s collection from
the Carboniferous Limestone of Bathgate, Linlithgowshire.
Our specimens are much less depressed at the nuchal furrow than Prof. De Koninck’s
original seems to have been; but evidently that is a variable feature.
Cyprella annulata is said to be very rare at Visé, Belgium (De Koninck), and in French
Hainault (Dupont).
We now return to some forms closely related to Cypridina, and well known in the
recent state, namely, Bradycinetus and Philomedes. Of the former we have certainly a
good representative in the Carboniferous Formation at Carluke, Scotland; of the latter a
less decided, but very probable, representative has been sent to us from the Carboni-
ferous Limestone of Cork, Ireland. After having treated of some other fossil forms,
_which, however, have no closely allied existing representative, but are evidently
Cypridinads (Lntomoconchus and Offa), we shall treat of some fossil forms of Polycope
and Cytherella, and then take up some extinct Entomostraca (Hntomis), whose relationship
with the Ostracoda is obscure, and in which the absence of the anterior notch and the
presence of a strong nuchal furrow are distinguishing features.

notched in front, beneath a broad beak, which has a jagged or sinuous edge (fig. 5, Pl. V).
The surface is smooth and finely reticulate (fig. 22, ¢), with irregularly quadrangular
meshes, slightly sunken at the centre. The Muscle-spot, distinct on the cast (fig 21), is
almost central.
Two specimens of this interesting species occur in the half of a small round ironstone
nodule from Gare, Carluke: from the same stratum that yielded the Coprolite with
- Polycope simplex (p. 53), equivalent to the “ First Calmy Limestone of Braidwood,” 340
fathoms below the Ell Coal. In Dr. Rankin’s Collection.
The nodule is seven eighths of an inch in greatest diameter; beneath its external
coat (one sixth of an inch) is a thin layer of calc-spar, next a film of ironstone, and the
inside consists of a blue argillaceous septarium, one fissure of which passes through
one of the specimens.
Bradycinetus Rankinianus is like B. Macandrei (Baird), Brady, ‘Trans. Lin. Soc.,’
vol. xxvi, plate 37, figs. 14—17, in general aspect, but is more gibbose and more oval in
outline ; but it is not truncate behind, nor is there evidence of its having been spined at
tlie postero-ventral region. It has a notch and beak closely resembling those of ZB.
Macandrei ; and, though B. Brenda has a somewhat different structure of these parts
we refer our fossil to this genus, guided by the peculiarity of beak, general contour,
and ornament. It is dedicated to the indefatigable explorer of Carluke fossils, Dr. D.
R. Rankin, who has aided us kindly with many specimens.

IX. RHOMBINA. Gen. nov.
Belonging possibly to the Cypridinade, but differmg in shape from any of the fore-
going genera, there are some rare specimens of carapace-valves obliquely oblong or rhom-
boidal in profile, and rather compressed, which have a slight sinus and a mere trace of
AA CARBONIFEROUS ENTOMOSTRACA.
the Cypridinal notch on the sloping anterior margin under the projecting antero-dorsal
angle, The nearest approach to this structure among the species described in the
previous pages is seen in figs. 15—19, Pl. Il, Cypridina brevimentum, and in figs. 30
and 81, Pl. Il, which we have doubtingly referred to Philomedes (p. 43). In both cases,
however, a large sinus and definite notch give a considerable gape to the closed valves.
In Polycope, which is known to differ considerably from Cypridina in its organs, the
sinus is reduced to a minimum, and the notch is quite wanting, so that there is no gape
ut all. The above-mentioned specimens, having still some amount of sinus, notch, and
gape, differ essentially from Po/ycoye ; and they differ in degree, to a large extent, from
the above quoted Cypridinads. And as the features here referred to were doubtless in
strict relation with the capability and appliance of the internal organs and the extruded
swimming feet, we propose to group these few specimens under a new genus, RHOMBINA.
A marginal rim on the ventral edge of the valves may also be mentioned as a noticeable
feature, on account of its much greater development than in any other of the allied forms.
There is some resemblance between Rhoméina and certain forms of Aristozoe, one of
M. Barrande’s Silurian genera from Bohemia, but the latter has usually antero-dorsal
tubercles and sometimes a nuchal sulcus.

ties, with nearly parallel lines, but more acutely (60°) at the anterior end than at the
other (70°). The most prominent angle is at the antero-dorsal region, under which a
slight sinus notches each valve, making a small gape.
The dorsal line is straight ; the lower margin is slightly convex, and is bordered by a
distinct raised rim. End-view of the carapace is acute-oval ; edge-view long compressed

Length 4g; height 74; thickness 6, inch. Proportions 14: 7 : 6.
This rare form occurs to us asa single valve from the Upper Carboniferous Limestone
at Visé, Belgium, and we are indebted to M. J. Bosquet, F.C.G.S., for this and other
interesting specimens.
X. ENTOMOCONCHUS, ‘Coy, 1839.
The bibliographical history of Axtomoconchus is that of its best-known species,
E. Scoulert. In 1839 Professor F. M‘Coy figured and described as Entomoconchus
Scouleri, in the ‘Journal of the Geological Society of Dublin’ (vol. ii, p. 91, pl. 5, figs.
a—e), some large globose Entomostracan specimens which had been obtained by himself
and Dr. Scouler from the Mountain-limestone of Clane, Co. Kildare, Ireland. This form
had already been recognised as occurring in the Mountain-limestone of Bolland (Bowland
Forest), Yorkshire, by Prof. John Phillips, and was referred to by him in his ‘ Geology
of the Mountain-limestone District of Yorkshire’ (1836), pages 240 and 251, as a
*Cypridiform Shell,” in the Gilbertson Collection ;! but he did not describe it, though
he gave sketches of it in pl. 22, figs. 23 and 24, of that work.
In 1841 five species of Bivalved Entomostraca from the Carboniferous Limestone of
Belgium were figured and described by Prof. Dr. L. De Koninck, of Liége, in his
‘Mémoire sur les Crustacés fossiles de Belgique,’ in the ‘ Mémoires Acad. Royale Belg.’
vol. xiv. At page 16, under the name Cytherina Phillipsiana (fig. 13), we have the
peculiar gibbose form common in some of the beds of the European Mountain-limestone,
and above referred to as Hntomoconchus Scouleri. The foregoing five species, together
with one other, were more fully treated and illustrated in his ‘ Description des Animaux
fossiles qui se trouvent dans le Terrain Carbonifére de Belgique’ (4to, Liége, 1842-44).
Among them De Koninck described his Cypridina Edwardsiana, C. concentrica, C. annu-
lata, Cyprella chrysalidea, and Cypridella cruciata. The generic affinities, however, were
not well determined, owing to the fact of the peculiar antero-veutral notch in the valves of
Cypridina having been omitted in the engraving of Milne-Edwards’s typical species (as
explained in the ‘Monograph of Tertiary Entomostraca of England,’ Pal. Soc., 1856,
page 9), and the paleontologist having been thereby misled in collocating the fossil
carapaces with their recent analogues. See above, p. 11.
In 1844 Prof. M‘Coy enlarged our knowledge of the Entomostraca ‘of the
’ Now in the British Museum.
46 CARBONIFEROUS ENTOMOSTRACA.
Carboniferous rocks by the description and illustration of twenty-two forms (including
Entomoconchus Scouleri) from the Lower Carboniferous strata of Ireland, in his ‘ Synopsis
of the Characters of the Carboniferous Fossils of Ireland’ (4to, Dublin, 1844), Having
been enabled, through the courtesy of Sir Richard Griffith, Bart., to examine the
original specimens, we communicated to the ‘ Annals Nat. Hist.’ for July, 1866, a critical
notice of the whole, and arrived at the following conclusions as to the specimens of
EL. Scouleri :
“1. Entomoconchus Scoulert. Lower Carboniferous Limestone; Little Island, Cork.
‘Synops. Carb. Foss. Ireland,’ p. 164. Griffith, “ List of Localities” (‘ Journ. Geol. Soc.
Dublin,’ vol. ix), p. 68. A weathered shell [not ‘cast ’’] in grey crystalline fossiliferous
limestone.
«]*, Another shell, in similar limestone; Millicent, Clane, Co. Kildare.
“]**. Another specimen (labelled ‘2. Scouleri, Upper Carboniferous Limestone ;
Black Lion, Enniskillen, Co. Leitrim,’ ‘ Localities,’ p. 80) is a dark-coloured crystalline
shelly limestone with a Cyclus.’”
In Prof. M‘Coy’s figures and descriptions of #. Scoulert the hinge-line is by mistake
referred to the anterior extremity, and the relations of the other margins are consequently
misconstrued. His figures published in 1839 are large and carefully drawn, but those
of 1844, also those by Phillips and De Koninck, are not of sufficient size, nor exact
enough, to serve the purposes of the naturalist.
The characteristic feature in Hutomoconchus, namely, the anterior peak, with a fissure
beneath, formed by a sudden, though slight, inward curve of the edge of each valve, just
below the antero-dorsal region, and analogous to the Cypridinal beak and notch, was not
noticed until 1863, when we pointed out that Hntomoconchus is one of the Cypridinade
in a provisional notice of the Entomostraca of the Carboniferous Period read before the
British Association®
Generic Description —The carapace of Entomoconchus is bivalved and subglobose ;
valves subequal, smooth, thick (5th inch and more). In some instances, where large
individuals are crowded together (Kildare and Bolland), the middle portions of some
valves appear to be q/gth inch thick, but this may possibly be due to the close approxima-
tion of valve within valve. Sometimes a very faint reticulate structure is recognisable in
well-preserved shells. The left valve strongly overlaps the right valve in the antero-dorsal
region, less so posteally, and slightly at the ventral border. his kind of overlap exists in
two of Dr. Baird’s Cypridine, C. Zelandica and C. allomaculata (‘ Proc. Zool. Soc.,’
1 See ‘Annals Nat. Hist.,’ ser. 3, vol. xviii, p. 41.

“Annulosa.”) The hinge-line is simple, the thin edge of the right valve being received
under the overlap of the opposite valve.
The posterior portion of the carapace is rounded, the curve varying with individuals.
The anterior is truncate, usually obliquely, and with a more or less sinuous outline, due
to a depression accompanying the slight notch that is cut out (or rather indented) below
the well-marked antero-dorsal angle. These correspond with the hood and notch of most
of the Cypridinade." The gape or opening at the notch is narrow and vertical (not
transverse, as in Cypridina and many of its allies). It is widest above, and closes at
about the middle of the vertical line, but reopens, with a smaller vertical fissure, at the
antero-ventral angle of the carapace, which is rounded and subcarinate, being impressed
on either side by a marginal furrow continued downwards from the depressed area. In
old individuals a short oblique furrow passes off on each side from the great sinus or
depressed area of the front of the carapace; it is directed backwards and downwards,
from below the hood-like notch, and above the antero-ventral dehiscence of the valves.
There is also a small round or oval space left between the valves, sometimes accompanied
by a slight prominence at the postero-ventral angle, or at the corresponding curve. ‘This
probably had relation to a marginal spike on each valve, such as is met with in many
bivalved Entomostraca. Near the middle of the inside of each valve, but rather nearer
the antero-ventral angle, a relatively large “ Muscle-spot” is strongly marked in old indi-
viduals of #. Scouleri by a suboval patch of short radiating furrows within a much larger
sunken circular area.
A local cloudiness of discoloration only is sometimes seen at this point on the outside
of the perfect valves, but by the loss of the exterior coating, from solution of the
carbonate of lime (a result of weathering), the radiate lines of the Muscle-mark are fre-
quently brought to view. These vascular rays of the Muscle-spot are transverse in the
middle, longitudinal at the extremities above and below, and at graduated angles between
on either side.’
The Muscle-spot was distinctly indicated by Prof. M‘Coy in 1839. Somewhat
similar radiating groups of linear “lucid spots” are observable in several published
figures of Cypridine (Baird and others).
A difference of outline and of the number of radiating canals occurs in the figured
Muscle-spots of our specimens (figs. 3d, 4d, 5d); but we do not see how to assign these
differences as characters of sex, age, or variety. Fig. 3 d, showing the coarsest radii, is
a perfect cast of the Muscle-spot; the others are seen by partial loss of the outer crust of
the valve.
Cypridina, Philomedes, Asterope and Bradycinetus possess the anterior or antero-ventral notch
Eurypylus and Heterodesmus have it far less developed or barely present. Polycope, a member of an
allied group, has no notch. See above, pages 3 e¢ seq. |
2 A curiously similar pattern is seen on the dorsum of Cryptonota citrina, Stimpson, ‘ Invertebr.
Grand Manon,’ p. 36, pl. 2, fig. 27.
48 CARBONIFEROUS ENTOMOSTRACA.
Relationship of the Genus.—The carapace of Hntomoconchus differs from that of any
of the known species of Cypridina, Philomedes, Asterope, or Bradycinetus, m its sub-
quadrilateral outline, the hood and notch being only slightly developed, and usually
much higher up than in the oval Cypridinade. Its greater globosity and the thickness
of its valves distinguish it from the majority of the Cypridinal species, though the overlap
of the larger (left) valve is the same as in Cypridina? Zelandica, Baird (‘ Proc. Zool.
Soc.,’ Annulosa, pl. 17, figs. 11—13), and C.? albomaculata, Baird (ibid., 10) Bay
figs. 1 a—d). The Muscle-spot of the latter has a somewhat similar character to that
of Hntomoconchus.
There is a superficial likeness between some of the smaller specimens of Hztomo-
conchus and the carapace of Limnetis Gouldit, Baird (‘ Proceed. Zool. Soc., 1862, p. 149,
Annulosa, pl. 15, fig. 7); but the Cypridinal notch is absent in the latter, and the Muscle-
spot is very different.
Figs. 1 and 7 of our Plate I have outlines somewhat similar to that of Polycope orbicu-
laris, Brady (‘ Lin. Soc. Trans.,’ vol. xxvi, pl. 35, fig. 53) ; but with this the resemblance
ends, for in Polycope the Cypridinal notch is quite obsolete.
With the similarly globose, but strongly hinged, Heterodesmus,' an imperfectly known °
Cypridinad from the Sea of Japan, Hxtomoconchus has shape and gibbosity in common,
but the hingements differ, as well as the form and amount of notch or sinus.
Judging by the carapace-valves, all of the animal that remains to us, Hxtfomoconchus
was a marine gregarious Bivalved Entomostracan (as indicated by M‘Coy in 1839),
closely allied to the existing Cypridinade ; but the high position and the feeble development
of its “notch ” and “hood,” and the vertical, narrow, interrupted anterior ‘ gape” of the
valves, are distinctive features, connected with the extrusion of the antenne (swimming
limbs) and other organs, which were doubtlessly planned somewhat differently to those of
the existing genera.
For the better understanding of the illustrations referred to we note that—

50 CARBONIFEROUS ENTOMOSTRACA.
Enromoconcuvs Scoutert, Jones, 1870, Monthly Microsc. Journ., vol. iv, p. 185,
pl. 1xi, fig. 17.
Carapace subglobose, with a subquadrilateral profile; more strongly arched on the
dorsal than on the ventral border; truncate in front, with slight notch, depressed area,
and narrow interrupted gape, as described above (p. 46).
Individuals differ one from another in the profiles of their several aspects, as side-view,
end-view, and edge-view, and when some agree in one profile they differ in others. Some
(as figs. 2, 8, and 5), which are fuller in the postero-dorsal region than others (figs. 4
and 6), may have been females.
The diversity of outlines leads us to treat of the selected specimens separately,
thus :
Pl. I, figs. 1 a—ce.—The cast of a varietal form, and probably a small male, from the
Carboniferous Limestone of Clonalvy, near Naul, Co. Meath, Ireland.’ It is 34ths of an
inch long. Side-view obliquely ovate; truncated obliquely in front, having its longest
diameter from the antero-dorsal angle to the postero-ventral curve. End-view ovate,
broadest downwards. Edge-view long-ovate, broadest anteriorly. The transverse
(through the valves), vertical, and longitudinal diameters are as 5: 6: 7.
This specimen indicates a carapace proportionately longer, more convex below, and
more depressed in the postero-dorsal region (the last being probably a masculine feature),
than the other oblique-ovate specimens (figs. 4 and 6), and it differs also from them some-
what in the profiles both of end and edge. Hence we regard it as a variety—Var.
OVALIS.
Figs. 2 a—d.—This is a yellowish-grey shell of probably a young female 2. Scoulerz,
one third of an inch long. It is from the Lower Scar Limestone of Settle, Yorkshire
(Mr. J. H. Burrow, M.A.). Side-view subquadrate, with the postero-ventral region
rather prominent and the dorsal wall rounded. End-view ovate, broadest below. Edge-
view long-ovate, broadest in front.
The diameters have the following proportions :—Transverse (thickness of the whole
carapace) as 8; vertical as 11; longitudinal as 13.
We have the same form from the Carboniferous Limestone of Bolland,’ Yorkshire
(Prof. Morris, F.G.S.), and of Visé, Belgium (M. Bosquet, C.M.G.S.).
Figs. 3 a—d.—This is a rather large specimen, consisting of a light-grey limestone
cast and a piece of cream-coloured shell, from Visé, Belgium; the gift of M. J.
Bosquet, For. Cor. G. S., of Maestricht. It corresponds with De Koninck’s figured
specimen in size, but slightly differs in outline. It is ;4ths inch in length. Side-view

subquadrate, with the antero-ventral and postero-dorsal regions slightly prominent.
End-view ovate, broadest below. Edge-view long-ovate, broadest behind.
The transverse, vertical, and longitudinal diameters are as 65:7: 8. That of the
circular depression around the Muscle-spot is as 43.
Muscle-spot (seen on the internal cast where the shell is wanting) oval, with about
thirty-six radii; it is near the centre of a slightly raised circular area on the cast, corre-
sponding with a depression on the inside of the shell, and the edge of which is indicated
on the outside of the’remaining portion of the shell by a faint curved furrow.
[These features are not shown on the figure. |
Figs. 4 a—d.—The shell (grey) of a very large and old individual from Bolland,
Yorkshire (Prof. Morris, F.G.S.); ;%ths inch in length. Side-view obliquely subovate ;
that is, obliquely truncate in front, with antero-dorsal prominence ; and obliquely ellip-
tical behind, the postero-dorsal region being depressed. End-view slightly ovate, nearly
round. Hdge-view oval.
Transverse, vertical, and longitudinal diameters as 8 : 9: 10.
Similar specimens abound in the Carboniferous Limestone of Kildare, Ireland.
Figs. 5 a—d.—A large dark-grey shell, slightly roughened by weathering, from
Bolland (Prof. J. Morris, F.G.S.). It is 2rds inch in length. Similar occur in Kildare.
Side-view suboval, truncate anteriorly, broadly elliptical behind. End-view broadly ovate,
almost round. Edge-view subovate, truncate anteriorly.
Transverse diameter almost equal to the height, and nearly $ths of the length.
Muscle-spot (shown by slight loss of surface) nearly round, with about fifty-two
radi.
Figs. 6 a—e.—A neat little shell of a small, probably young male, specimen, from
Bolland (Prof. Morris, F.G.S.). It is }4ths inch long; like fig. 4 in shape, but smaller
and less globose. .
Diameters—Transverse as 9 ; vertical as 11 ; longitudinal as 13.
Entomoconchus Scouleri is known to us by specimens from the Carboniferous Lime-
stone of Cork,’ Kildare (see above), Meath,? and Limerick (collections of Sir R. Griffith,
the late Mr. D. Sharpe, Mr. Joseph Wright, British Museum, and Geological Survey,
Dublin and London); Bolland, Yorkshire (Profs. Phillips and Morris); Park Hill,
near Longnor, Derbyshire (Geol. Survey, London); and Lower Scar Limestone, Settle,
Yorkshire (Mr. J. H. Burrow).

Koninck, Bosquet, Dupont’).
2. ENTOMOCONCHUS ORBIcULARIS. Sp. nov. Plate I, figs. 7 a—e.
Carapace suborbicular and compressed, one half inch long; vertical and longitudinal
diameters nearly equal; transverse diameter (through both valves) rather more than half
of either of the former; notch faint; antero-ventral keel strong. Side-view almost
orbicular ; truncate in front, and slightly contracted in the postero-ventral region. End-
view acute oval, lenticular. Edge-view acute oval, lenticular.
Transverse, vertical, and longitudinal diameters as 8 : 143 : 15.
One shell, much eaten away by weathering, collected by Mr. Joseph Wright, F.G.S.,
at Little Island, Cork; and in a specimen of the grey Carboniferous Limestone of
Poolvash, sent to us from the Isle of Man by Mr. E. W. Binney, F.R.S., we find the cast
of a small compressed Lntomoconchus probably referable to this species.
3. Enromoconcuus cLoposus. Sp. nov. Plate V, figs. 10 a—y.
Carapace globular, its length slightly exceeding its height or thickness, which are equal.
Profiles nearly orbicular. Side-view faintly elliptical. Edge-view suboval. End-view
round, with a slight ventral flattening.
The “ beak” is more distinct than in either Hxtomoconchus Scouleri or EL. orbicularis,
and the lower portion of the “gape” is continued much further into the ventral region
than in either of the other two species. The breast-angle is wanting in Z. glodosus ; the
hinder margin is well rounded, and bears a trace of a submedian spine.
The Muscle-spot is of the usual type and very distinct. The surface of the valve
exhibits also some traces of reticular structure or ornament. .
Length 3; height 7; thickness ? inch. Proportions 16 : 13 : 13.
Only one valve is known; from the Lower Limestone Series of West Broadstone,

In the British Museum is a rather small Belgian Hxtomoconchus from the Carboni-
ferous Limestone of Visé, which has the general characters of #. globosus, with the

rounded front and low-placed gape, but it is longer and much narrower anteriorly,
having an oval or elliptical profile. This may be a new species.
XI. OFFA.! Genus novum.
‘Carapace equivalve (?), subglobose, nearly equilateral, truncate in front, and impressed
by a subcentral inturning of the anterior edge of each valve, representing the Cypridinal
notch and equivalent to the upper gape in Hntomoconchus.
M. Barrande figures two species of H/pe from the Upper Silurian rocks (“ Fauna III,
F, fig. 2”) of Bohemia, one of which, #. inchoata, Bar., is globular, and in profile some-
what resembles our Carboniferous species; but the sinuated margin is the hinge-line in
the Bohemian species. (‘ Syst. Sil. Bohéme,’ vol. i, Suppl., 1872, p. 511, pl. 26, figs.
10 a—e). L. pinguis is subreniform (op. cit., p. 512, pl. 26, figs. 15 a—e).
1. Orra Barranprana. Sp. nov. Plate II, figs. 6 a—e.
Carapace-valve subquadrilateral, boldly curved above, nearly flat below, semicircular
behind ; truncate in front, with a small sinus or infolding of the edges in the upper
third, sufficient to leave a slight fissure between the valves, as in Hntomoconchus, though
in a less degree.
Surface of valve smooth; impressed by the lateral extension of the sinus obliquely
downwards for a short distance, and raised in a low boss a little above and in advance of
the centre.
End and edge profiles long-compressed-obovate.
Offa Barrandiana is named after the eminent geologist of Bohemia, who has eluci-
dated very many fossil Entomostraca. It is somewhat like Hxtomoconchus Scouleri junior
in shape, but is less convex and the gape is very different. Its valves have a slight
central boss, affecting the profiles of edge and end, which would otherwise be scarcely
gibbose.

XII. POLYCOPE, .G. O. Sars.
Poxycoprg, the only known type of the Polycopide (see p. 10), and belonging to the
distinct section CLapocopa (see p. 6), has a bivalved carapace, recognisable by its circular
or oval form, its obsolete sinus, and want of beak.’
In the Polycope the notch is obsolete or absent, a faint indentation or sinus in some
species indicating its place ; im others it is not at all marked. In this group the antero-
inferior region, if truncated, falls inwards or slopes obliquely downwards and backwards
from the greatest prominence in front. ‘This corresponds to some extent with the shape
of those Cypridinads that have more beak than ventral keel, seeming to have a short chin,
in strong contradistinction to those which have the “notch” high up, with- or without a
deep sinus, and with more or less projecting antero-ventral quarters.
1. Ponycorz Burrovi. Sp. nov. Plate II, figs. 2 a—c.
Carapace equivalve (?), equilateral, subglobular, smooth. Side-view short-broad-
ovate, slightly smaller anteriorly. End-view obovate, being broadest at the top. Edge-
view long-ovate, broadest in front.
Muscle-spot obscurely visible. No indication of a notch or sinus.
Length $ inch. Proportions—length 7 ; height 6 ; thickness 5.
A few gregarious casts of P. Burrovii, some ferruginous, in grey Carboniferous
Limestone, have been collected at Settle, Yorkshire, by Mr. J. H. Burrow, M.A., after
whom the species is here named.

edge of some valves. The curvature of outline and the amount of gibbosity are variable.
Side-view oval (sometimes ovate by increased ventral convexity) ; obliquely truncate at
the antero-ventral region, and hence a slight angular anterior prominence. End-view
narrow-obovate. Hdge-view narrow-acute-oval.
A faint trace of the Muscle-spot occurs on some specimens.
No indication appears of a notch at or under the projecting angle. In this feature our
little fossil resembles the very small existing Polycope orbicularis, Brady (‘ Trans. Lin.
Soc.,’ vol. xxvii, p. 471, pl. 35, figs. 53—57), which, however, is rounder and thicker,
has an irregular reticulate ornament, and is indented with the very shallow and nearly
obsolete sinus rather higher up on the front.
The fossil specimens (in a nodule) from Braidwood, Lanarkshire, show a neat reticu-
late structure of oblong meshes and scattered superficial pits. One small specimen is
very much more ovate than the others, but this may be a character of age or of sex.

Polycope simplex is not rare. We have it from the Carboniferous Limestone of Little
Island, Cork (Mr. Joseph Wright, F.G.S.); from Duleek, Co. Meath (a cast’ in the
Museum of the Geological Survey of Ireland); and a large specimen from limestone of
the same age at Limerick. Probably of the same species, but not well exposed, are some
imbedded specimens in the same limestone from the Isle of Man (Mr. E. W. Binney,
F,R.5.).
A nodule of ironstone from Braidwood, near Carluke, Scotland, contained seventeen
specimens (including impressions) of P. simple, having brownish-grey shells, smooth,
translucent, showing reticulate structure, and with aneat little ventral rim to some of the
valves (Dr. Rankin’s collection). We also refer to this species two small, smooth, com-
pressed casts” from the Hosie Limestone series, South Hill, Campsie, near Glasgow, 660
fathoms below the Ell Coal (Mr. J. Young’).

2 These were associated with “ Cypridina primeva”’ in the ‘ Glasgow List’ of 1871, p. 27.
3 Mr. Young informs me that “this Polycope is found, with many marine shells, in dark-grey shale,
lying upon the Hosie Limestone at Campsie and Kilbride. The beds are in the ‘ Lower Limestone series.’
Craigenglen, which has yielded a great many species of the smaller Entomostraca, is on the same South
Hill of Campsie. The beds lie under the ‘Main Limestone,’ and are therefore lower in position than the
Hosie Limestone, which is 22 fathoms above the Main Limestone.”

CYPRIDINOPSIS — — 1871. Ib., vol. ili, Suppl., p. 26.
Carapace ovate, somewhat narrower in front, and slightly pinched in or incurved at the |
anterior third of the ventral edge, without any definite notch being produced. End-view
acute-oval. Edge-view long-acute-oval. Surface ornamented with long, concentric, inter-
lacing or anastomosing and mesh-like striz, very much like the ornament of Cypris
striolata, Brady (‘ Annals Nat. Hist.,’ sev. 3, vol. xiii, pl. 3, fig. 15). The ventral edge of
at least the right valve has a marginal rim.
Length 345; height ;';; thickness ;'5 inch. Proportions 9: 6}: 5.
The specimens are pyritous, and were collected by Mr. John Young, Assistant-Curator
of the Hunterian Museum in the University of Glasgow, in a marine shale of the Carboni-
ferous series at South Hill Pit, Campsie. ‘Rather rare. A very local species. Lower
Limestone, South Hill, Campsie; in dark-blue shale above the Hosie Limestone, with
Goniatites, Bellerophon, Nucule, and Spirifera Urei ; Carluke; in an. ironstone nodule,
in shale, First Kingshaw Limestone” (Suppl. supra cit., p. 26).
The species is named after Mr. John Young, of Glasgow, one of the energetic paleon-
tologists of Western Scotland who are successfully working out the natural history,
geology, and fossils of Lanarkshire and the neighbouring districts.

Triconia Winiiamsoni, Lycett, sp. nov. Plate XVI, fig. 8.
Shell ovately oblong, lengthened, depressed ; umbones sub-anterior, not much elevated,
obtuse, not recurved; anterior side short, its border somewhat truncated, curved
elliptically at its base with the lengthened lower border ; superior border nearly straight,
or slightly convex, sloping downwards, its extremity rounded with the posteal termination
of the lower border. Area narrow and flattened, bounded by two faintly traced, minutely
tuberculated carinz ; there is also a similar, rather obscure, line of tubercles indicating
the position of a median carina; there are also delicately marked, transverse, plications
of growth, which become more prominent posteally. The escutcheon is flattened or
slightly excavated, and has great length; it is narrow, in conformity with the area. ‘The
other portion of the valve has about ten or eleven oblique, or slightly curved rows of large
depressed, nodose varices ; the first-formed three or four rows form separate nodes, but
with some irregularity and inequality in their arrangement; the succeeding rows have
the nodes very large, confluent, and depressed near to the angle of the valve, becoming
rapidly small, attenuated, and irregular, near to the pallial border. The lines of growth
are strongly defined over the whole of the valve.
This is one of the most depressed forms of the Clavellate ; it possesses some general
resemblance to 7. ¢riquetra, but is more depressed, and more lengthened ; the posteal por-
tion is wider and more rounded ; its rows of nodose varices are also much more oblique.
From 7. clavellata it is distinguished by the very short anterior side, by the nar-
rower area and escutcheon, by the general depression of the valves, and by the few broad,
irregular, confluent nodes at the carinal extremities of the rows.
The name is intended as a trifling tribute to reminiscences of the earlier geological re-
searches of Professor W. C. Williamson, F.R.S., of Owen’s College, Manchester, and of
his description of the locality whence the examples of this Trigonia have been obtained."

rock in the lower portion of that stage; the valves of conchifera occur in abundance, but
owing to the very intractable kind of rock, few are separated in good condition ; associated
with it are numerous valves of Zrigonia Rupellensis. T. Williamsoni appears to be rare,

Taking the figure in the ‘Mineral Conchology’ as representing the typical form,
obtained from the Upper Ragstones of the Inferior Oolite at Nunney, near Frome, the
following will serve for its description :
Shell sub-ovately elongated, convex; umbones obtuse, antero-mesial, much incurved
and slightly recurved; anterior side much produced and rounded with considerable
convexity ; lower border lengthened, nearly straight, but with a slight undulation or
excavation posteally ; hinge-border lengthened, concave, sloping towards the more
produced and narrow posteal extremity of the area, with which it forms a considerable
angle. Escutcheon moderately wide, depressed, and concave. Area narrow and flattened,
with two very small, but well-defined, bounding carine, and in some specimens there is
an obscure line of minute tubercles bordermg upon the median furrow, which is usually
distinct ; the bounding carinz are also minutely tuberculated upon their upper portions,
they have always much curvature; the area has transverse irregular plications, near to the
apices these become distinct, regular costelle. The sides of the valves have upon their
anteal portions a few narrow, inconspicuous, sub-tuberculated coste, which are directed
obliquely downwards to the middle of the valve, but not in the direction of the lines of
growth; they form a curve or undulation, the convex border of which is directed towards
the marginal carina; for the most part their posteal extremities are bent suddenly
upwards or united to a larger nodulous series of costa or varices, which approach the
carina at aconsiderable angle, and the few lower costz approach it almost perpendicularly ;
these are scarcely so numerous as the anteal series. he first-formed five or six costz
are without undulation, or are nearly concentric; all are slightly nodulous. The larger
example figured has some variability in its costee, which, however, does not entitle it to be
considered as a distinct variety. The few last-formed costz are irregular or confusedly
UNDULATA. 55
nodulous, and the larger or posteal costae disappear in their course upwards, leaving a
smooth, plain, and depressed space separating them from the carina.
The first of the two figures of 7. wadulata, From., given by Agassiz (‘'Trigonies,’ pl. 6,
fig. 1), has been quoted by D’Orbigny and by Oppel as a synonym of 7. angulata; mn
this opinion I cannot concur, the large varices upon the marginal and inner carine, together
with the considerable breadth of the area, appear clearly to separate the Swiss Great
Oolite fossil. The second example of 7. undulata (‘ Trigonies,’ pl. 10, fig. 14) is another
equally distinct species, and still more removed from 7. angulata.
The authors above quoted appear to have had little confidence in the figure of
T. angulata given in the ‘ Mineral Conchology,’ which, although rudely engraved, is really
a good drawing and faithfully renders the characters of the species in a small specimen.
T. angulata has more or less affinities with all the species of the Undulate: for
distinctive differences the reader is referred to the descriptions of the numerous forms
depicted upon Plates X to XVI inclusive.
Stratigraphical position and Localities. T. angulata has occurred in the Inferior Oolite
of Nunney, near Frome, whence the type-specimen, associated with Astarte elegans,
was obtained ; Dundry, in the same county, is another locality. I have obtained it at
various Gloucestershire localities in the Oolite-marl and in the Upper Grit-stones of the
same formation in the Cotteswold Hills, but the entire number of examples which have
come under my notice are inconsiderable, and no evidence has been obtained connecting
the species with the southern portion of Somersetshire, or of Dorsetshire; it also appears
to be absent throughout the long course of the Inferior Oolite in Oxfordshire, Northamp-
tonshire, Bedfordshire, Lincolnshire, and Yorkshire. Upon the whole, therefore, it may
be regarded as a rare species.
In France 7. angulata has been described by Oppel (‘Juraformation,’ p. 485) as a
species of the Cornbrash at Marquise, near Boulogne ; some fine specimens from that
formation and locality attributed to our species have been found upon examination to be
T. fiecta. D’Orbigny (‘Prodrome,’ 1, p. 308) places our species in his Etage 11,
Bathonien. Rcemer (‘ Nordd. Oolith.,’ p. 96) records the occurrence of 7! anxgulata in the
Dogger of Porta Westphalica.

Shell sub-ovate, or ovately oblong, somewhat depressed; umbones antero-mesial,
56 BRITISH FOSSIL TRIGONLA.
with little prominence, erect, or in other examples slightly recurved; anterior side
moderately produced, its border curved elliptically with the lower border ; hinge-border
lengthened with some concavity, or in other instances nearly straight, sloping obliquely
downwards ; its length is nearly equal to twice that of the posteal border of the area,
with which it forms a considerable angle. Escutcheon lengthened, much excavated, but
having its superior border raised. Area of moderate breadth, concave immediately beneath
the apex, but expanded and flattened posteally ; it has regular, transverse, prominent plica-
tions, which become costellee near to the apex ; there is a well-marked mesial furrow ; the
bounding carinz are small, but elevated and distinct ; they have small, closely arranged,
ovate tubercles or varices throughout their entire length; there is no median carina.
The other portion of the valve has the rows of costs rather numerous (about sixteen)
anteally ; they are plain, narrow, depressed, and horizontal, or are directed slightly
downwards to about the middle of the valve, where they enlarge, form two or three
nodose varices, and, curving gracefully upwards, become again suddenly attenuated, and
meet the marginal carina at a considerable angle; in some instances, as in fig. 9, the
costee become broken mesially, and form an imperfect angle with their posteal portions.
In adult specimens two or three of the last-formed anteal costz coincide in their direction
with the lines of growth; they therefore take the direction of the lower border, which
is without any undulation, as in 7. angulata ; the anteal cost are always somewhat more
numerous than the others.
Affinities. The nearest ally is Z. angulata, compared with which it is more depressed
both anteally and mesially ; its posteal portion is more expanded, and its lower border is
destitute of the posteal undulation of that species; its coste are also more numerous
anteally, and do not form a distinct undulation or double curvature upon the middle of
the valve, so that their general direction accords more nearly with the lines of growth ;
their posteal portions are also larger and broader.
7. Painei, another species of the Great Oolite, has also considerable affinities with our
species; the latter has the form more lengthened posteally, the umbones are less
produced, and are more anteal; the coste are more numerous; its area more especially
differs in having delicately tuberculated carinze and a rugose plicated surface.
T. paucicosta, of the Kelloway Rock, has greater general convexity, and its area, with
the peculiarity of its few, large, widely separated tubercles upon its carine, will readily be
distinguished. ‘
The young shells of 7. flecta offer little that is distinctive from specimens of similar
size pertaining to 7. angulata and 7. Painei ; the transverse costellee upon the area are,
however, smaller than in the last-named species; compared with 7. paucicosta their
general ornamentation is much less conspicuous, more especially upon their carine.
The largest of our specimens has the length of 23 lines, height 193 lines, diameter
through the united valves 10 lines.
Stratigraphical position and Localities. T.flecta appears to be a somewhat rare species;
UNDULATA. 57
‘when figured and described in the ‘ Monograph of the Great Oolite Mollusca,’ published
by the Palzontographical Society in 1853, it was only known as a British species from a
single specimen indifferently preserved, and not sufficiently exhibiting the characteristic
features ; it was obtained at Trewsbury Quarry, in Forest Marble, near to the Tetbury
Road Station of the Great Western Railway, near to Cirencester. More recently the
Rev. J. E. Cross has obtained fine examples in the upper subdivision of the Great Oolite
at Thornholm, near to the Village of Appleby, Lincolnshire; to the liberality of that
gentleman I am indebted for the specimens now figured. Mr. Cunnington has also
kindly forwarded to me four specimens from the Cornbrash of Hilperton, near Trowbridge ;
Hinton, in the same county, is another locality.
Fine examples of 7: flecta have also been obtained in the Great Oolite of Marquise,
near to Boulogne; they constitute the 7. angulata of D’Orbigny and of Oppel.
Trigonta Paucicosta, Lycet/, sp. nov. Plate XI, figs. 8,9; Plate XVI, fig. 7.
Shell ovately oblong, convex; umbones moderately elevated, antero-mesial, and
recurved; anterior side rather short, its border curved; lower border much more
lengthened, with a lesser curvature; superior border lengthened, somewhat concave,
sloping obliquely, forming a conspicuous angle with the posteal border of the area.
Escutcheon narrow, slightly depressed, its superior border somewhat raised. Area
narrow, flattened, divided by a mesial furrow, bordered by a minute row of tubercles,
bounded by two small distinct carine, which have each a row of tubercles; those of
the marginal carina are large, regular, widely separated, and somewhat compressed by
the lmes of growth, they become evanescent upon the posteal half of the valve in
specimens of advanced growth, upon which portion the surface has conspicuous irregular
transverse plications ; in the young shell the area has a few plain transverse costelle.
The costee upon the other portion of the surface consist at first, of three or four narrow,
elevated, plain, somewhat angulated ridges, which become, near to the carina, sub-
tuberculated ; subsequently they form two series, the anteal series are narrow, distinctly
ridged, irregularly knotted or sub-tuberculated, they are nearly straight, and pass
obliquely downwards to the middle of the valve, when they meet with a much larger, less
numerous, posteal series of nodose varices ; this posteal series turns upwards suddenly at
a considerable angle to the anteal series, towards the carina, from which the varices are
well separated, and with which they form right angles. In adult forms the lower portion
of the valve has the anteal coste more irregular, and the junction of the two series is
less angulated or more obscure; the whole aspect becomes influenced by the folds of
growth which are conspicuous. Some specimens which scarcely constitute a distinct
58 BRITISH FOSSIL TRIGONLA.
variety have the coste, both anteal and posteal, plain ; the posteal series, however, are
usually slightly nodulous.
T. paucicosta is nearly allied to 7. angulata, Sow., but has a much shorter anteal,
and more lengthened posteal side; the ornamentation of the area is much larger,
especially the tubercles upon the marginal carima, the few larger nodes upon the posteal
series of varices are different to the small tubercular rows of 7. angulata ; the angles
which the rows form at the middle of the valves are also distinct from the curvature or
undulation of Z. angulata. Another allied form is 7. undulata, Fromherz (Agassiz,
‘Trigonies,’ pl. x, fig. 4), also a specimen figured under the same name (pl. vi, fig. 1) ;
the description refers only to the former of the two specimens, which has the varices,
both anteal and posteal, equal in size, and united mesially; the marginal carina has
unusual prominence. ‘The specimen, pl. vi, fig. 1, may possibly be identical with our
T. paucicosta, but it appears to have undergone compression, and is therefore scarcely to
be relied upon; should its identity with our species be eventually established, the name
I have chosen may remain, as it is sufficiently distinct from the typical form figured by
Agassiz, which may be regarded as the true 7. wadulata (‘Trig.,’ pl. 10, fig. 4).
For comparison with 7. flecta, another allied species, the reader is referred to that
shell.
The specimens selected for our figures sufficiently exemplify the general variability of
the species, and also the changes of aspect produced by advance of growth; usually
examples of very advanced growth are more imperfectly preserved, and are therefore less
fitted to exemplify the species.
There is so much variability, both im the figure and ornamentation, that measure-
ments of proportions have but little utility, descriptions also must, to some extent, be
subordinate to figures in conveying correct or sufficient ideas of its several aspects.
Stratigraphical position and Localities. Uitherto 7. paucicosta has been obtained
only in the Kelloway Rock, of Cayton Bay, three miles to the southward of Scarborough.
Numerous specimens in various stages of growth occur in the higher beds of the
formation at that locality, in hard, brownish, sub-siliceous rock, occupying a thickness of
eight feet, and associated with a multitude of the characteristic Ammonites of the
formation. Other beds, six feet or more, separate it from certain lower hard beds,
mostly of pale grey colour, which yield Z2gonia Rupellensis in considerable numbers,
even down to the dark clay which separates it from the Cornbrash. (The discovery of
numerous examples of the latter species having occurred since page 28 was printed,
I take the present opportunity of mentioning that it is intended to give additional
illustrations of it upon the last plate of the present Monograph.) ‘The entire thickness
of Kelloway Rock at Cayton Bay, and beneath the adjacent Red Cliff does not exceed
twenty-five feet, the section of the same formation to the northward of Scarborough
Castle is upwards of three times that thickness, including a portion of the highest
beds removed for foundations of houses. These excavations produced the finest

Shell depressed, ovately trigonal; umbones antero-mesial, large, elevated, and .
slightly recurved; anterior border moderately produced, and elliptically curved with
the lower border ; hinge-border nearly straight, sloping obliquely, and terminating in an
oblique truncation of the posteal extremity of the area. Escutcheon narrow, depressed,
and lengthened ; its superior border is much raised: the area is narrow and flattened,
divided by an oblique mesial furrow, and bounded by two inconspicuous slightly knotted
carine, which disappear altogether posteally; near to the apex the area has a few
transverse plications, but the surface generally is nearly smooth. ‘The lines of growth
are only faintly marked. ‘The other portion of the shell has the first-formed six or seven
rows of coste entire and smooth, they pass obliquely downwards from the anterior
border, and curve to the carina at a right angle; the subsequently formed costz consist
of two portions, the anteal series consist of a few narrow and depressed subnodulous
costae, which pass obliquely downwards to the middle of the valve, where their extremities
are contiguous to the extremities of a few, much larger, nodose varices which pass upwards
almost perpendicularly to the carina.
Much variability in the cost is observable in different specimens, and not un-
frequently the ornamentation over the greater portion of the valve is effaced ; the later-
formed coste are usually disunited and very irregular. Our largest example has thir-
teen costee. ‘The species was at first mistaken for 7. Goldfussii, Ag. (Lyrodon literatum
Goldf.), which is more lengthened, and has a more prominent kind of ornamentation ; it
occurs in the Upper Oolites, but has not been discovered in Britain.
The smallest of our figures exemplifies a young shell with the coste prominent,
smooth, and ridge-like; they are united to the carina, where they form a projecting
angle, and pass undivided across the area as somewhat smaller costelle. Some doubt
may exist whether the minute figure of 7. cuspidata, Sow., given in the ‘ Mineral Con-
chology,’ pl. evii, figs. 4, 5, is intended for a dwarfed example of this form, or for the
young state of 7: Moretoni, as there is no very clear distinction between them; but as
the first-formed costz of 7. Moretoni are usually smaller and more closely arranged than
60 BRITISH FOSSIL TRIGONIA.
in 7. Painei, and as the latter species has not been obtained at Ancliff, which was the.
locality of Sowerby’s little specimen, it is more probable that 7. cuspidata is the
young of 7 Moretoni in a more dwarfed condition than has been obtained at Minchin-
hampton.
Adult examples of Z. Pamei are most nearly allied to 7. flecta, to which the reader
is referred.
A shell figured by Messrs. Rigaux and Sauvage asa variety of 7. Arduenna, Buv., in
their interesting Memoir on new species from the Bathonian formation of Boulogne
(‘Mém. de la Soc. Acad. de Boulogne,’ 1868, vol. i, pl. vi, fig. 4), appears nearly
allied to, and perhaps is not really distinct from, 7. Painei. Our Plate XI, fig. 3,
which presents an approximation to the Boulogne shell, represents the most common
aspect of the species in the Great Oolite of Minchinhampton, or perhaps with the costae
more than usually prominent; not unfrequently, however, the posteal varices are
more imperfectly developed, or more nearly resembling the figure of Messrs. Rigaux.
and Sauvage.
7. Arduenna, Buv., a much smaller species, is less short in its general figure,
with much more numerous and more closely placed costae and varices; the rugose area
is another distinctive feature.
Dimensions.—Our largest specimen has the length upon the marginal carina of 24
inches ; the opposite measurement is 2 inches; the convexity of a single valve 7 lines ;
the length of the escutcheon 18 lies.
The name is intended as a slight recognition of the success which has attended
the exertions of Dr. Paine, of Stroud, as Honorary Secretary of the Cotteswold Naturalists,
Field-Club during a long period, and also of his acquirements in the cultitivation of the.

UNDULATA. 61
anteally ; superior border lengthened, straight, or slightly concave ; lower border. slightly
curved elliptically ; umbones antero-mesial, elevated, obtuse, and but little recurved.
Area narrow, flattened, somewhat raised, with numerous very irregular, rugose, trans-
verse plications; it has a well-defined median furrow, bordering upon which, on each
side, is arow of minute tubercles ; the inner and marginal carine are each represented
by a small row of inconspicuous tubercles or knotted terminations of the transverse
plications of the area. The escutcheon is depressed and flattened, its length is con-
siderable, or nearly equal to the measurement across the valves ; its posteal extremity
forms an obtuse angle with that of the area. The coste upon the sides of the valves
have but little prominence, the first-formed three or four rows are horizontal or slightly
oblique, with small, regular, cord-like tubercles, the succeeding rows form two distinct
series ; the anteal series are few, oblique, and very irregularly sub-tuberculated ; for the
most part the rows have but little prominence and sometimes become nearly evanescent
towards the middle of the valve ; the few last-formed or lower ones are commonly more
or less confused or imperfect ; about the middle of the valve this anteal series is replaced
by a more numerous posteal series, whose lower extremities form nearly right angles with
the other series ; they are regular, narrow, closely arranged, straight, imperfectly tuber-
culated, and are somewhat more prominent than the anteal series; they pass upwards
nearly perpendicularly to the marginal carina; there are about fifteen rows, and their
size continues nearly equal even to the posteal extremity of the valve.
The test is thick, the borders of the valves smooth, and the hinge is remarkable for the
great breadth and flattening of the central tooth in the left valve. The larger of our speci-
mens has the length, upon the marginal carina, of 84 inches; the opposite measurement
is 24 inches; the diameter through the united valves is inconsiderable. ZT. producta
has occurred only in single valves; the internal mould is unknown: it is one of the
largest and least known of the Undulate; several young examples have been obtained,
these are but little distinguished from similar examples of 7" signata. The costee supply
the distinguishing features of 7! producta, the few widely separated and rather obscure
anteal series, and the more closely arranged, but separate, straight, and narrow posteal
rows, serve to remove it from 7. s¢gnata, which has moreover the umbones more mesial and
recurved ; the anterior side and border is more produced and rounded; this arrange-
ment of the cost is very distinct from 7. V-costata, which has the anteal series much
more numerous, and of a different figure, and does not form rows of separate tubercles.
It has also some affinity with Zyrodon literatum, Goldf., in the characters of the costee ;
but the latter species has the general figure more lengthened and oblong, and the posteal
portion of the area has much greater breadth; the marginal carina also has a row of
large rounded tubercles ; the umbones are smaller and less elevated ; the anterior side is
also more produced. In Z producta the whole of the ornamentation has but little
prominence, and in some examples it is partially obscured by the plications of growth,
which become large and rugose over the lower portion of the valve.
62 BRITISH FOSSIL TRIGONIA.
Messieurs Terquem and Jourdy have figured, under the name of 7. producta, a small
species of the Clavellate from the Great Oolite of the Department of the Moselle (‘ Mém.
Soc. Géol. Fr.,’ 2 sér., tom. ix, 1869, pl. xi, figs. 29, 30), this is allied to, and perhaps
is not really distinct from, 7. impressa, Sow.
Stratigraphical position and Localities. T. producta is one of the rarer fossils of
the Trigonia-grit of the Inferior Oolite, near to Cheltenham and to Stroud ; fine
examples have also been obtained in Northamptonshire by the officers of the National
Geological Survey. Specimens from the Inferior Oolite of Normandy are in the British
Museum.

Shell ovately oblong, moderately convex mesially, somewhat depressed near to the
anterior and posterior borders; umbones elevated, obtuse, erect, or slightly recurved,
placed within, or in other specimens upon, the line of the anterior third of the valves ;
anterior border produced, curved elliptically with the lower border; hinge-border
straight, lengthened, sloping obliquely, and terminating posteally in the wide, rounded,
posteal border of the area. Escutcheon large, lengthened, depressed, excepting its
superior border, which is raised. Area very wide, occupying about one third of the
surface of the valve; it is somewhat raised, expanded, and flattened posteally ; it has
a wellsmarked mesial oblique furrow, and is traversed transversely by numerous large
plications, which increase in size posteally, and become irregular, prominent, and
wrinkled (see Plate XIII, fig. 6); the bounding carine are small and distinct; the
marginal carina is minutely plicated, excepting its posteal portion, which is occupied by
the large transverse plications of the area; these form small varices upon the inner
carina ; there is no median carina. The costated portion of the valve has numerous rows
(eighteen or nineteen in adult forms) of tuberculated or sub-tuberculated coste, the first-
formed six or seven rows are very closely arranged, regular, plain, nearly horizontal,
and slightly curved at their two extremities: those which succeed form two series; the
anteal series are somewhat irregular in their arrangement, but are always small and
inconspicuous ; they are directed somewhat obliquely downwards to the middle of the
valve, and are occasionally distinctly tuberculated, but commonly are irregularly sub-
tuberculated ; their posteal extremities are united about the middle of the valve to
another, less numerous, and somewhat larger posteal series of coste, which are also either
distinctly tuberculated or sub-tuberculated ; they approach the carina at a considerable
UNDULATA. 63
angle, and the last-formed three or four rows pass perpendicularly down to the lower
border ; their anteal or lower extremities are for the most part united to the extremities
of the more numerous anteal series, with which they form a considerable undulation or
angle, which is always less than a right angle; not unfrequently, however, the few
last-formed anteal coste are altogether irregular, presenting only small confused
tubercles.
This appears to be the shell indicated by the author of the ‘Geology of Yorkshire,’
who gave a short notice of it at page 156 of the first edition of that work, but without
any figure. It is nearly allied to 7. angulata, Sow., in the general arrangement of its
ornamentation ; but it differs from that species constantly and materially in the general
figure, which is much more broad and expanded posteally,—so different from the narrow,
concave, and delicately plicated area of 7. angulata ; it is also without the undulation
upon the lower borders of the latter species, and its rows of anteal costz are more
numerous ; but usually the outline of the two forms will at once show their distinctness.
It is also somewhat allied to 7. Moreton?, M. and L., but is more oblong, with a much
wider and more rugose area; the marginal carina is much smaller, the cost are also
more disunited mesially, and have the tubercles smaller, and the costz less ridge-like.
The two small lower figures of plate lxxxvii ‘ Mineral Conchology,’ represented as a
variety of 7. clavellata, have some affinities with our species in the general figure, and the
characters of the costa ; but the area is destitute of the large transverse rugose costelle ;
there are also indications of a small median carina, it is probably therefore distinct.
T. compta, Lyc., of the Collyweston Slate, is also nearly allied to it, both in the general
outline and the ornamentation. The flattened condition of the slate species prevents any
comparison of the convexity, but the coste in adult specimens are fewer; the area is
smooth, and has three distinct tuberculated carinee,—characters which are so different from
that portion of Z. conjungens as to compel their separation as species.
Stratigraphical position and Localities. During many years 7. conjungens remained one
of the more obscure and doubtful forms of Trigonia, and was usually omitted, even in the
lists of Yorkshire fossils; this arose from the very few words of description allotted to it
by Professor Phillips in his ‘ Geology of Yorkshire,’ and not less so to the very intract-
able stone of the Millepore-bed, a hard, rough, semi-ferruginous stratum at Cloughton
Cliffs, to the northward of Scarborough. A considerable number of examples of 7.
conjungens have been obtained from that locality, but only a few have been separated well
preserved. Brandsby, Yorkshire, was the locality given by Professor Phillips, at which
place the beds are not now accessible: it has also been obtained in the White Oolite
of Whitwell, in the same county. The Cloughton specimens are associated with 7.
recticosta, and a considerable number of Inferior Oolite Conchifera. It also occurs in the
same stratum exposed at Cayton Bay, to the southward of Scarborough. Specimens are
in the Museum of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society at York, also in the collection of
Mr. Reed, of the same place; in the collection of Mr. Leckenby, now forming part of

Shell sub-ovate or ovately oblong, convex; umbones large, moderately elevated,
obtuse, nearly erect, placed within the anterior third of the valves; anterior side
moderately produced, its border curved elliptically with the lower border; superior
border lengthened, nearly straight, sloping obliquely downwards, and forming posteally
nearly a right angle with the posterior border of the area. Escutcheon wide and some-
what concave, its superior border is moderately raised. Area narrow, slightly convex,
with a well-defined mesial furrow. Young examples have two distinct bounding carine ;
the inner carina is characterised by transverse narrow irregular varices; the marginal
carina has irregular widely separated tubercles; in examples of more advanced growth
the carinee have small varices which are united to the transverse plications upon the area ;
much variability exists in the prominence of the plications, but usually specimens of full
development have the posteal portions of their areas characterised only by delicate lines of
growth, and are altogether without ornamentation. he other portion of the surface has
two distinct series of tuberculated costz, this distinctness commences at the apices even
of the youngest specimens; the anteal series has the rows very numerous, small, and
extremely irregular ; in young specimens they approach the anterior borders horizontally, |
as smooth attenuated lines ; with the curvature of the valve they become sub-tuberculated,
and are usually deflected slightly downwards, but their direction is scarcely alike in any
two specimens; they are always small and unsymmetrical, one row with another, unequal,
and either prominent or obscure, sometimes partially united to the extremities of the
larger posteal series, or altogether separated from them and excentric. Well-preserved
UNDULATA. 65
adult forms have the few lower costz of the anteal series more or less wrinkled and
obscure, these take the direction of the lines of growth, and therefore curve upwards to
the anterior border; other examples have the whole of the anteal series forming smooth,
irregular and unequal, oblique, wrinkled cost, but in all instances this series occupies
only the smaller portion of the costated surface, their junction with the other series is
always anteal to the middle of the costated surface; the posteal series are fewer, much
larger, and more regular; they form prominent nodose ridges, which descend almost
perpendicularly from the carina, enlarging downwards, and forming acute angles with the
anteal series ; about a moiety of the posteal series attain the lower border: our largest
specimen has twelve of these cost. Few examples of the genus have the lines of growth
so strongly marked as in the adult examples of 7. /terata, they impress the cost very
conspicuously.
Young specimens from nine to twelve lines across the valves are remarkable for the
prominence, delicacy, and beauty of their ornamentation ; they are slightly more lengthened,
than the adult form, but are less oblong and quadrate than the little Zragonia pulchella,
of Agassiz, to which their ornamentation approximates considerably.

Several Jurassic species approximate to Z. /iterata in the general plan of their
ornamentation. Lyrodon literatum, Goldf., a larger species, has the general figure more
lengthened, and the area much larger in proportion. 7. sudglobosa, Mor. and Lyc., is
distinguished by the more globose form, by the large tuberculated carinal, and by the few
very large posteal varices. Z. Painei, Lyc., on the other hand is much more depressed,
and the coste fewer. JZ. V-costata, Lyc., has not. the two series of coste broken
and separated as in the present form, it is also much less convex: other of the Undulate
are more remotely allied to it.
History, Stratigraphical position, and Locality. Messrs. Young and Bird, in their Geolo-
gical Survey of the Coast of Yorkshire (1822), first described 7. “ferata : they assigned it
to the Lower Lias Shale, but without any locality : the figure of it given upon plate viii of
their work is very indifferently executed. In the year 1829, Professor Phillips, in his
‘ Illustrations of the Geology of Yorkshire,’ gave a much better figure: he assigned the
species to the Lower Lias Shale of Robin Hood’s Bay, and figured it with the fossils of
that stage ; he also noticed its occurrence in Upper Lias Shale upon the authority of Mr.
Williamson (p. 161). In 1850, D’Orbigny in his ‘ Prodrome,’ also erroneously placed it
(printed 7. /yrata) in his Etage Simemurien, and gave the vicinity of Metz (Moselle) as a
locality. In addition to 7 Jiterata, Agassiz placed the five following species in the
66 BRITISH. FOSSIL TRIGONLA.
Upper Lias: 7. navis, Lam., 7. pulchella, Ag., T. tuberculata, Ag. (TL. spinulosa, Y. and
B.), Z. similis, Bronn, and 7. costellata, Ag. Subsequent researches have shown that
the latter five species are associated more or less one with another in a single geological
position, and that two or more of them occur together at several localities in Southern
Germany, Professor Quenstedt (‘ Der Jura.’) has established 7. navisand TZ. pulchella as
species of the lower portion of the Inferior Oolite.
In Britain 7: spinulosa pertains both to the Supra-Liassic Sands and to the lower
portion of the Inferior Oolite ; and, as the two remaining species are associated in Southern
Germany with the three former, it may be inferred that all of them belong to a higher
position than 7’ /iterata, and that the latter therefore occupies the lowest position of any
known species of the Upper Lias.
In Britain 7. /iterata has occurred only at a single locality ; namely, a little higher than
the middle of the Upper Lias Shale at the Peak, Robin Hood’s Bay, in scars accessible only
at low water; there are no Ammonites in this stratum, but it immediately overlies a bed
with Ammonites crassus, Y. and B.; it is lower than the beds worked for alum upon the
same coast. Specimens occur of every stage of growth, with the valves both united and
separated ; but, as the greater number have the characters of the surface ill-preserved, good
specimens are somewhat rare.

Shell ovately trigonial, moderately convex ; umbones nearly mesial, produced, obtuse,
and usually somewhat recurved ; anterior side produced, its border curved elliptically
with the lower border; hinge-border slightly concave, sloping obliquely, its extremity
forming an obtuse angle with the extremity of the area. Area narrow, concave beneath
the apices, but flattened posteally ; it is traversed transversely by delicate plications,
which near to the apices form a few regular, smooth costelle ; it has a mesial longitudinal
furrow, and in the young condition three closely tuberculated carine, which become
evanescent posteally with advance of growth. The escutcheon is much depressed compared
with the inner carina; it is lengthened, of moderate breadth, and perflectly flat. The
other portion of the surface has the rows of costae numerous (twenty to twenty-four) and
narrow ; they are but little raised, and are rather inconstant in their characters ; sometimes

they are plain, but more frequently they are subtuberculated ; all of them commence at
the anterior border and curve obliquely downwards ; the first few rows are simply curved
upwards at their posteal extremities to the carina; those which succeed are more straight
and oblique ; their posteal portions form with the anteal portions a more decided angle,
which increases with every succeeding costa, until they form acute angles upon the middle
of the valve, the posteal portions passing upwards perpendicularly to the carma, but
without any increase in their size. In adult forms the last three or four posteal coste
pass downwards perpendicularly to the pallial border.
Three Jurassic Trigonie are allied to 7. V-costata. T. tripartita, Forbes, a much
smaller species, differs im having a few large posteal, straight, oblique coste, which are
distinct from the far more numerous and smaller anteal costee. The figure of 7. angulata,
Sow., is much more produced, and attenuated posteally; the hinge-border is more
lengthened and concave; the umbones are more prominent and recurved; the cost are
very much fewer, and posteally they form an undulation rather than an angle; it is very
correctly represented by the coarse figure in the ‘Mineral Conchology’” 7. producta,
Lycett, is somewhat allied to it in the characters of the coste, but has the anteal series
few and distinctly tuberculated ; the general figure also is essentially different ; the anteal
not recurved apices, the lengthened and flattened area, together with the greater
general length of the shell, separate them very clearly.
Adult specimens of 7. V-costata have the length one sixth greater than the height ; of
small specimens the number is far more considerable; these latter have been obtained at
numerous localities in beds of very different mineral character ; usually they have a more
lengthened figure transversely ; they differ materially one from another in the closeness
or wider separation of the coste.
Stratigraphical position and Localities. The figure given in the ‘Annals of
Natural History’ was from a large example obtained in the Upper Trigonia-grit of
Rodborough Hill, near Stroud; a few specimens haye also occurred in a similar position
at several localities near to Cheltenham; it is, however, rare throughout the Cotteswold
Hills. In Northamptonshire it occurs more commonly in the ferruginous beds, and is of
smaller dimensions. Numerous specimens (apparently dwarfed) also occur in the very
fossiliferous bed of the Dogger at Blue Wyke, near Robin Hood’s Bay, Yorkshire ; they
are of various stages of growth; three are depicted upon Plate XV. A considerable
number of small, imperfectly preserved Trigoniz also occur in the layers of oolitic slate
at Collyweston; they are deprived of the test, and have probably undergone vertical
compression ; their condition, therefore, does not admit of a rigid comparison ; they also
differ much one with another in the general figure, and in the prominence or indistinctive-
ness of the costa; all have the appearance of young shells, and occasionally specimens
have the figure more lengthened transversely than is observed even in young examples of
7. V-costata ; there does not, however, occur any constant characters which will justify
their separation from that species, to which, therefore, they are provisionally united; two

examples are figured on Plate XI, figs. 6, 7. In the absence of better illustrative
specimens it is therefore necessary to cancel “ 7. minor,” as this obscure form was desig-
nated in the list of Inferior Oolite Trigoniz, page 12 of this Monograph.
The internal mould is not known; impressions occur in the Ferruginous Oolite of
Glaizedale, North Yorkshire. All the localities are in Inferior Oolite.

An inflated shell with prominent ornamentation and nodose angulated costz.
Shell ovately globose ; umbones antero-mesial, large, produced, much incurved, and
slightly recurved ; anterior and inferior borders curved elliptically ; posterior or superior
border short, concave, its posteal extremity forming an obtuse angle with the posteal
border of the area. Escutcheon wide, depressed, and rather short. Area wide, flattened,
slightly excavated, its surface forming a considerable angle with the other portion of the
shell; it is conspicuously bi-partite, the lower constituting the larger portion; it is
traversed transversely by irregular rugose plications, which near to the apex are replaced
by a few, narrow, regular, plain costelle; it is bounded by tuberculated carinz ; the
tubercles upon the marginal carina are unusually large and nodose ; the median carina is
also represented by a similar, but smaller row of tubercles. The other portion of the
shell has upon its anteal side thirteen or more, narrow, depressed, subtuberculated costz,
which are rather irregular in their course, but, for the most part, curve obliquely down-
wards to within a short, distance of the carma, when they meet with a much larger and
more prominent nodose posteal series, fewer in number (about eight or nine), which pass
upwards perpendicularly to the carina, their point of junction with each of the anteal
series having a large tubercle ; the angles thus formed are more considerable than right
angles. Upon the lower third of the adult valves the plications of growth become
strongly marked anteally, and all other ornamentation then ceases; this change is also
accompanied by a sub-concentric sulcation which crosses the valve longitudinally.
Afinities. It is allied to a larger species, 7. Painei, Lyc., in the general features of
its ornamentation, but is greatly more inflated; the area is much wider and more
ornamented, and more especially by the presence of the prominent marginal carina with its
few large tubercles ; this latter feature, together with the absence of large transverse plica-
tions upon the area, and its sub-globose figure, serve also to separate it from 7. conjungens.
The valves are separate, or spread open and held in contact by their ligament.

Shell ovately trigonal, moderately convex ; umbones submesial, not much produced,
and only shghtly recurved ; anterior side produced, its border curved elliptically with the
lower border ; hinge-border straight, sloping obliquely downwards. Area narrow, somewhat
concave, divided into two portions by a considerable depression of the upper half; the
whole is transversely striated ; the bounding carinz are very smal], without any distinct
tubercles. Escutcheon narrow, depressed, and moderately lengthened. The other portion
of the shell has numerous rows of narrow, plain, closely arranged costz, all of which
originate at the anterior border and pass over the middle of the shell obliquely downwards
with a slight curvature ; they enlarge somewhat posteally, and curve upwards towards the
carina; about twelve or thirteen of the costz first-formed are plain, those which follow
gradually become tuberculated and enlarge at their posteal portions ; each succeeding row
becomes more tuberculated, so that the rows last-formed have only a short portion plain
anteally ; they thus gradually form two series of coste, of which the posteal or tuberculated
series is the larger and less numerous in consequence of the intercalation of three or four
rows of short anteal coste, which impart much irregularity to the few last-formed rows ;
‘the tubercles are neither regular nor symmetrical, some are distinct and oval, others are
united in the rows which all curve upwards to the carina.
Our specimen resembles only the second figure of Agassiz (‘Trigonies,’ tab. 10,
fig. 7), but is a smaller example with less prominent posteal tubercles; the area is also
nearly destitute of ornamentation, which is probably due to defective preservation. The
figure given by De Loriol, Royer, and Tombeck is more lengthened, and the coste have

less posteal curvature towards the carina; the tubercles also appear small for a specimen
of such advanced growth, differences which indicate a variety.

TRIGoNIA compta, Lycett. Suppl. Mon. Gr. Ool. Mollusca, Pal. Soc., 1863, p. 50,
pl. xl, fig. 1.
Shell ovately trigonal, somewhat depressed; umbones moderately elevated, antero-
mesial, not recurved, obtuse ; anterior side produced, curved elliptically with the lower
border ; posterior border truncated at its extremity. Escutcheon narrow and incon-
Spicuous. Area rather wide, flattened, with a mesial] furrow and three small tuberculated
carine ; its general surface is smooth, with faintly traced lines ‘of growth. In other
specimens the carinz are evanescent, and the area is altogether smooth ; its entire surface
is raised, so that the marginal carina, although so little conspicuous, forms a prominent
ridge compared with the more depressed, adjacent costated portion of the valve.
The other portion of the surface has about twelve rows of coste, which pass from the
anterior border obliquely downwards ; they are very narrow, elevated, and sub-tuberculated,
or occasionally plain; posteally they increase in size, become partially disunited, and
form two distinct, large, depressed nodes or varices, which curve upwards and meet the
marginal carina at a right angle ; each row of varices corresponds to every alternate row
of the narrow anteal coste.
The general ornamentation has but little prominence, and not unfrequently it is rather
obscure. :
Young specimens, when only three lines across, have narrow, horizontal, plain costa,
which are slightly curved upwards at their posteal extremities ; the marginal carina is then
prominent.
T. compta is a small species not uncommon in the slate of Collyweston; the specimens
are usually more or less compressed; it also occurs more rarely in the sand of
Northampton, in which it retains its original convexity. It differs from 7 Moretoni in
having much fewer costz, which do not form continuous curves as in that species, but
are disunited posteally, forming a less numerous series of short large varices; the area
destitute of large transverse rugose folds, is another distinctive feature.
From 7. costatula it is separated by the more lengthened form, less convexity, larger
area, and the presence of the short, curved, large posteal varices. The same general
features, together with the larger ornamentation, also separate it from 7. cmpressa.
UNDULATA. v1
Compared with 7. conjungens, its ornamentation is much less prominent; its posteal
varices are larger and more depressed ; the area is less expanded posteally, and is destitute
of the large rugose plications which are so conspicuous on that species.
Locality. The finely laminated, slaty sandstone has preserved the ornamentation in a
very perfect manner, although the test has wholly disappeared. It has only been recognised
in the vicinity of Collyweston, and in an apparently similar geological position in the
Inferior Oolite of Northamptonshire.
Trieonta Leckensyl, Lycet/, sp.nov. Plate XVI, figs. 1, 2.
Shell ovately oblong, lengthened and attenuated posteally, much depressed ; umbones
sub-anterior, obtuse, not conspicuous ; anterior side short and rounded ; lower border
lengthened, curved elliptically ; superior border lengthened, slightly concave, and having
a gentle curvature downwards posteally to the lower extremity of the area, which is.
somewhat pointed. Area narrow and flattened with some obscure transverse plications ;
the bounding carinz are scarcely elevated, the marginal carina has a row of small tubercles,
which disappear posteally; there is no distinct mesial furrow. ‘The escutcheon is
lengthened, very narrow, and depressed. ‘The other portion of the valve has the rows of
costze in two series; the posteal series consists of depressed, curved, rounded, sub-
tuberculated costee, which pass downwards almost perpendicularly from the carina to the
middle of the valve; their number is from fourteen to sixteen, they are cord-like, and
become attenuated near to the carina; the anteal series is much smaller and more
numerous, the rows are sub-tuberculated, and, for the most part, nearly horizontal in their
direction; they are not distinctly united to the extremities of the posteal series, but
become broken into small, irregular, isolated tubercles, which occupy the middle of the
valve, even to the lower border; the general direction of the rows of posteal costa is
therefore not conformable with that of the anteal series. The lines of growth appear to
have but little prominence; no portion of the test has been preserved in the larger
example, and only partially so in the smaller.
This remarkable example of the Udulate, conspicuous for its very much depressed,
lengthened figure, and the delicate, but composite, character of its ornamentation, possesses
some general resemblance to 7. angulata, from which it will readily be distinguished by its.
large obtuse umbo and depressed figure; or, when the costz are preserved, the very
numerous and minutely knotted anteal series is a characteristic feature. ‘The lengthened
depressed form equally removes it from 7. /iterata, Phil., to which it approximates in the
general character of its costee. Other species more remotely allied are 7’. v.-costata and
T. paucicosta, to the descriptions of which the reader is referred. 7. Ramsayi, from

cord-like costs, is without the small anteal series. In the general Jengthened outline it is
also not without some resemblance to 7’ Pellati; but they differs in all the essential
features of ornamentation.
Stratigraphical position and Locality. T. Leckenbyi ranks as one of the most rare of
the Trigoniz. I am not aware that more than four entire examples of single valves have
been procured, and fragments of a few others; all are more or less flattened from
vertical pressure, and only portions of the test remain; but the characters of the surface
are sufficiently well preserved. The rock is a dark grey, highly micaceous, thin-bedded,
shaley sandstone, a member of the stage which may be provisionally termed Supra-liassic,
and according in position with the Jwrensis-beds of the Cotteswold Hills; it is associated
with some of the characteristic fossils of that stage, and more especially with Zeredratula
trilineata, Y. and B. It has been procured only over a small area in shore-beds covered
by the tide at high water, between Blue Wyke and the Peak, near Robin Hood’s Bay,
upon the coast of Yorkshire. The geological position is therefore higher than the Alum
Shale or the zone of Ammonites communis, and lower than the stratum with Lingula
Beanit.

Shell ovately trigonal, moderately convex; umbones sub-anterior, elevated, obtuse,

portion curved elliptically with the lower border; cardinal border moderately lengthened,
straight, sloping obliquely, and curved suddenly with the posterior extremity of the area.
Escutcheon excavated, its superior border raised. Area narrow, flattened, conspicuously
bi-partite ; the plane of its surface forms a considerable angle with the other portion of the
shell; it is bounded by two well-defined tuberculated carine; the tubercles upon the
marginal carina are more especially large and distantly arranged; there is also a line
of small tubercles bordering upon the mesial furrow; the transverse plications upon the
area are irregular and not conspicuous. The other portion of the surface has a series of
large elevated varices, about twelve in number, which curve downwards from the
carina, occupying more than half the costated surface ; each row has about nine depressed
nodes ; the lower extremities of these varices meet the posteal extremities of a much
smaller anteal series, which are nodose, short, and nearly horizontal in their direction,

but with some irregularity. The lines of growth are conspicuous over the greater
portion of the shell. Portions of the epidermal granulated tegument are preserved,
and have the lines of granules larger than is usual in the Undulate or the Clavellate.
Our figure exemplifies a specimen, the posteal extremity of which is somewhat defective
from disappearance of the test.
Locality and History. Our specimen is from the Portland Oolite of Tisbury; Mr.
Cunnington has also obtained the species in the same formation near to Devizes ; at both
localities it ranks as one of the most rare Testacea in the formation. Allusion may here
be made to 7. radiata, Benett, the absence of which in this Monograph as a recognised
species requires some explanation.
In the year 1831, Miss Etherelda Benett, of Warminster, published a small folio
volume, intended as an illustrated catalogue of Wiltshire fossils; plate xvii, fig. 3,
of that work, represents 7rzyonia radiata from the Portland Limestone of Tisbury ; the
figures generally in Miss Benett’s work are carefully drawn, it may therefore be assumed
that the deficiencies in the Trigonia represent the defective condition of the specimen.
The general aspect seems to indicate flattening or compression ; the area has no clearly
defined features ; the marginal carina has some indistinct tubercles; the rows of varices which
pass downwards from the carina are more clearly expressed, and appear to be obtusely
nodose ; there are also some partially preserved tubercles upon the pallial portion of the
valve near to the lower border ; all else is left to the imagination. The type specimen
was removed to the Philadelphian Museum, with the whole of Miss Benett’s collection, at
the decease of that lady ; but, judging from the figure, the possession of the specimen
would have added but little to our knowledge of the species, and no second British
example recognised as 7’. radiata is known.
In the year,1865 M. Munier-Chalmas figured and described under the name of
T. Ferryt (‘ Bull. Soc. Linn. de Normandie,’ vol. ix), a Trigonia which in the general
characters of its varices possesses a considerable resemblance to the figure given by Miss
Benett ; the anteal portion of the valve is represented as devoid of ornamentation, but as
this, in common with the other figures upon the same plate, is reduced in size, we are
the less able to judge of the actual condition of the specimen; he also described in the
memoir accompanying the plate an allied Trigonia from the same formation, in the
vicinity of Boulogne, under the name of 7. Carrez, but of this no figure was given.
In the following year appeared the almost simultaneous publication of Memoirs on the
Portland formation of Boulogne by Professor Hébert, and Messieurs de Loriol and
Pellat, each of these palzontologists discovered the apparent identity of 7. Ferry with
T. radiata, and the last-named authors figured a very perfect example of Z. Carrei, and
another of 7. radiata; the latter form is, however, apparently defective, the anteal
half of the valve being separated from the other portion with varices by a line of fracture,
which apparently indicates the absence of the test upon the anteal portion of the valve,
the varices of which end abruptly at the line of fracture. Several large clavellated

‘Trigonize, or portions of them from the Portland formation of Oxfordshire and Wiltshire,
which have come under my notice, are too imperfect in their general condition to admit
of any satisfactory comparison with other known forms; at present, therefore, I can only
allude to 7. radiata as a British species with much hesitation, as being represented
possibly by examples which are too defective to be submitted to the artist as illustrations
of Miss Benett’s species. It may also be remarked that an entire absence of ornamen-
tation upon the anteal portion of the shell, such as appears to be indicated by the
specimen of Miss Benett, by that of Munier-Chalmas, and also by the defective figure of
De Loriol, represents a feature to which we discover nothing analogous throughout the
entire series of the genus Trigonia. In the absence of any more satisfactory example it
is intended to figure an imperfect specimen in the Oxford University Museum, obtained
in the Portland Limestone of Shotover Hill, and kindly brought under my notice by
Professor Phillips.

Shell ovately trigonal, short, rather depressed; umbones elevated, obtuse, and
scarcely recurved ; anterior and lower borders curved elliptically ; hinge-border short,
sloping obliquely. Area of moderate breadth, flattened, distinctly bipartite, the inner or
superior half being the more depressed ; it is traversed transversely by delicate lines of
growth, and near to the umbones by a few small costelle ; the bounding carinz are distinct,
but have little prominence, and are only imperfectly tuberculated ; the posteal border of the
area forms only a slight angle with the superior border of the escutcheon, which is small
and depressed. The costated portion forms a considerable angle with the plane of the
area; the coste form two distinct series; the more numerous or anteal series has the
rows very small, plain, and closely arranged; their direction is uniform, passing from the
anteal border obliquely downwards to the middle of the valve, where they are cut off by
a much larger, less numerous, posteal series of costa, seven or eight in number, which
are slightly tuberculated, and pass downwards from the carina almost perpendicularly,
forming right angles with the anteal series. The comparative size and direction of the
two species of costz will serve to distinguish this little shell from 7! v.-costata, from 7.
undulata, and from 7. detrita; others of the Undulate are more remotely allied. The
anteal ribbing in Fig. 7 is more minute than in the specimen figured by Professor E. Forbes,
and this is the sole difference observable.

Stratigraphical position and Localities. Our specimen was obtained by Mr. Walton,
of Bath, in the Cornbrash of Chippenham; the type specimen was found by the late
Professor Edmund Forbes in a stratum of soft crumbling yellowish limestone and shale
beneath the Oxford Clay at Loch Staffin, Isle of Skye, associated with Testacea, which
are for the most part estuarine or fluviatile forms ; the geological position is probably not
very different from that of the Chippenham Cornbrash, but modified by peculiar local
conditions.’

Shell ovately trigonal, moderately convex ; umbones placed within the anterior third
of the valves, moderately elevated, only slightly recurved; anterior side very short, its
border curved elliptically with the lower border; superior border straight, sloping
obliquely downwards and forming an obtuse angle with the posteal border of the area.
Escutcheon lengthened, concave, its superior border somewhat raised. Area of moderate
breadth, flattened, having a well-defined mesial furrow; it is transversely rugosely
plicated and bounded by two small elevated, tuberculated, or rather closely arranged,
plicated carinze, which are formed by enlarged continuations of the transverse rugee upon
the area. ‘The other portion of the shell has numerous, very closely arranged, plain,
rounded costz ; the few first-formed are regular and almost horizontal, succeeded by rows
more oblique or directed obliquely downwards from the anterior border ; posteally they
form a sudden flexure somewhat downwards and then turn upwards perpendicularly to
the carina; at first the posteal angle is but small, but it regularly increases with the
succeeding costa, so that the few last formed have their posteal portions somewhat dis-
united ; they become slightly nodulous and, forming each a right angle, pass per-
' The association of the generic forms of Testacea in the Hebridean deposit described in the
Memoir quoted and depicted upon the plate which accompanies it, is curious and instructive, especially
when compared with the habitats of two of the living Australian Zrigonie. T. tripartita was found
in the Loch Staffin shale with a Perna and an Ostrea, and with ten other species, belonging to the
fluviatile genera, Cyrena, Potamomya, Unio, Neritina, and Hydrobia. That this association was not
accidental may be inferred from the following analogous facts. The recent Zrigonia Lamarckii occurs in
Sydney Harbour, partially buried in black mud, and also in the Paramatta River, within reach of the tide ;
in like manner the larger 7. pectinata is found in Launceston River, Tasmania, in similar black mud,
exposed to the alternating influences of fresh and of tidal brackish water. Any section of these Australian
deposits may, therefore, be expected to expose the T’rigonie associated, as at Loch Staffin, with the fluviatile
or estuarine testacea with which they lived and were buried.

pendicularly upwards ; the last-formed two or three anteal costz become slightly waved
or irregular, and their direction accords nearly with the lines of growth, which become
conspicuous near the lower border; they also form, near the middle of the valve, an
horizontal sulcation or arrest of growth.
Localities. The materials upon which the foregoing description is founded are some-
what scanty, consisting of three British and as many foreign examples. The larger of the
specimens figured, with the valves united, is in a very perfect condition, and was obtained
by the Rev. P. B. Brodie, in Forest Marble, near to the Tetbury Road Station of the Great
Western Railway, North Wilts ; the small example is from the Cornbrash of Hilperton,
which has also produced other specimens. ‘There are several in the British Museum, of
medium sizefrom the Great Oolite of Ranville, Normandy. ‘This appears to have affinity
much larger and imperfect fossil figured by Goldfuss (‘ Petrefac.,’ pl. 136, fig. 5c)
from the Lower Oolite of Pegnitz, formmg one of a group which he attributed to
T. literata. Its nearest ally probably is 7. wadulata, which is obtained in a similar
geological position; compared with the latter species it has greater convexity, more
especially at the umbonal portion of the valves, which has also the coste much more
closely arranged, more horizontal, more numerous, and more rounded ; the slight posteal
flexure downwards and the considerable angles which they form with the short, nodulous,.
perpendicular series is also distinctive. In 7. wnadulata the angle or curvature is situated
nearly at the middle of the valve.
Messrs. Terquem and Jourdy have figured a large example of 7. detrita in their
‘Monograph on the Great Oolite of the Department of the Moselle.’

Shell small, sub-trigonal, moderately convex ; umbones elevated, sub-mesial, pointed,
and recurved; anterior side produced and curved elliptically with the lower border ;
superior border short, somewhat convex, passing abruptly downwards to the pointed
posteal extremity. Escutcheon small and depressed. Area narrow; the plane of its
surface forms nearly a right angle with the other portion of the shell; it is traversed
transversely by a few large depressed costella, which are waved as they pass the mesial
furrow ; there are also three slightly nodulous caring, of which the inner and median
caring are very small, the marginal carina is much larger. The other portion of the shell
has the costz plain, numerous, small, and very closely arranged, convex upon their lower
UNDULAT&. 77
and concave upon their upper sides; their direction has a slight curvature obliquely
downwards towards the carina; the first-formed four coste are simply horizontal, the
succeeding costz are bent suddenly upwards at their posteal extremities, forming a series
of right angles, one of which proceeds from every second costa. The entire number of
costz in adult shells is nineteen or twenty im a specimen eight lines in height. In aged
specimens the few last-formed coste are small, or indistinct, broken, or undulating, and
their posteal extremities become somewhat nodulous when the whole of the ornamenta-
tion becomes nearly effaced.
The height and lateral diameter are nearly equal; the diameter through both the
valves is one fifth less. The size varies from three to ten lines across the valves.
Stratigraphical positions and Localities. ‘The Great Oolite of Box, near Bath, has
produced numerous examples of varying dimensions and stages of growth. Mr.
Cunnington has also obtained it in the Cornbrash of Westbrook and Trowbridge.

Shell sub-ovate or ovately trigonal, moderately convex; umbones little produced,
obtuse, nearly erect, antero-mesial ; anterior border moderately produced, curved ellipti-
cally with the lower border ; hinge-border lengthened, nearly straight, sloping obliquely,
forming a considerable angle with the posteal extremity of the area. Area flattened but
slightly convex, the plane of its surface differmg only slightly from that of the other
portion of the valve; its breadth is equal to one third of the costated surface ; it is
traversed by large transverse plications which become prominent costella upon the upper
third of its length; the marginal carina has little prominence ; the median furrow is well
defined, but there is no median carina; the posteal extremities of the costelle form a
tuberculated inner carina. The escutcheon is narrow and much excavated, its superior
border is raised ; one of our specimens has several oblique varices across its surface, but
this appears to be an abnormal feature. The rows of coste are numerous, small, and
not quite regular in their arrangement, the first-formed six rows are plain, slightly curved
and acute; the succeeding rows descend obliquely from the anterior side, and about the

middle of the valve form a sudden curvature or an imperfect angle; their posteal
portions curve upwards towards the marginal carina, which they meet at a considerable
angle. ‘The rows are nearly equal in size throughout their length, but become somewhat
attenuated towards their two extremities. Some specimens have the cost almost
entirely plain, or only sparingly and slightly knotted (Pl. XVI, fig. 11), others have the
tubercles small, numerous, and irregular ; usually the anteal portions of such have the
tubercles more or less lamellated, their posteal portions more frequently form rounded
tubercles; in other instances they are only sub-tuberculated or cord-like (Pl. XVI,
fig. 9; Pl. XVII, fig. 5); each row extends to the marginal carina, the tubercles of
which form the terminations of the rows of cost, but towards the middle and lower
portion of the carina its tubercles become somewhat compressed, and are more numerous
than the rows of costa. An examination of numerous specimens in various conditions
of preservation and in different stages of growth prove that the costa have great
variability, both in their figure and in the presence or absence of tubercles. Occasionally
a specimen will occur with the costa plain and oblique, forming a considerable angle with
the posteal portion, which, over the lower half of the valve, rise upwards almost at a
right angle with their anteal portions, but even such specimens are never altogether
destitute of small depressed nodose elevations upon the coste; others are irregularly
tuberculated or nodose over two thirds of the height of the valve, and are more or less
angulated ; again, other specimens have the few last-formed coste altogether variable
both in their direction and in the size and arrangement of their nodose tubercles which
meander across the valve (Pl. XVI, figs. 9, 10), but their posteal portions are invariably
nodose and curve suddenly upwards to the carma. Without exception fully developed
forms have one or occasionally two supplementary anteal costz. ‘
The example figured under the name of 7: arata in the ‘ Supplementary Monograph
of the Great Oolite Mollusca,’ above cited, was one of several very indifferently preserved
specimens obtained by Mr. Walton in the Forest Marble of Farleigh, near Bath; the
specimen is not of fully developed growth, the coste are plain or have only slight
indications of tubercles, and there is no distinct carina; other examples forwarded to me
by the same gentleman were of more advanced growth and tuberculated, but so im-
perfect as to be unfit for purposes of illustration. ‘The portions of their surface preserved
agree with the larger and more irregular of our Lincolnshire examples.
Affinities and differences. From T. v.-costata it differs in the figures of the costz,
which are not V-like; the area is also much more rugose, and it is without the median
carina.
It is more nearly allied to some forms of that very variable species, 7! Moretoni ;
unlike the latter, the posteal portions of the costee do not enlarge, but become somewhat
attenuated near to the carina, to which, in the best preserved examples, they are united,
each small tubercle upon the carina forming the terminal tubercle of one of the rows of
coste; the median carina in 7. Moretoni has no counterpart in 7. waduata ; the latter-
UNDULATA. 79
formed coste in our species have also much greater irregularity than is seen in 7.
Moretoni. Upon the whole the enlargement of the posteal portions of the costa in the
latter species appears to be the most reliable distinctive feature, as it is always present.
The remarkable variability above described will account for our having failed to identify
with the second figure of Agassiz the very imperfect examples from the Forest Marble of
Farleigh ; and it has only been after comparison with examples from several localities
that I have become convinced of the necessity of merging 7’ aratain T. undulata. By this
latter species is intended only the specimen upon table x of the work of Agassiz,
excluding table 6, figure 1, which appears to be a different species with a few large,
widely-separated varices upon the angle of the valves or marginal carina.
In no British specimen examined, is the marginal caria and its row of tubercles so
large, as in the figure of Agassiz, table x, which appears to constitute the extreme limit of
its variability in one direction; other examples with the marginal carina nearly plain
constituting the opposite limit of variability.
Stratigraphical position and Localities. T. undulata has been obtained only in the
upper subdivision of the Great Oolite. Mr. Walton procured specimens in the Forest
Marble of Farleigh ; Mr. Cunnington in the Cornbrash of Hilperton, near Trowbridge.
The officers of the National Geological Survey have also obtained it in Northamptonshire
and Southern Lincolnshire; our figured examples are from Edenham, near Bourne,
Lincolnshire. ‘The specimen figured by Agassiz was from Piedmont.

side short, its border curved elliptically with the lower border; hinge-border short,
nearly horizontal, terminating posteally in the wide, rounded, and produced posteal
border of the area. Escutcheon depressed, wide, and short; its upper border is some-

traversed transversely by narrow, sparingly arranged, regular costelle, which become
evanescent posteally in specimens of advanced growth; each costella has for its carinal
termination one of the small carinal varices ; the area occupies fully one third the surface
of the valve. The other portion of the surface has numerous (16—17) rows of minutely
tuberculated coste; the first-formed four or five rows are nearly concentric, narrow,

nearly to the anterior border ; the last-formed three or four rows descend perpendicularly
to the lower border; all the rows have great regularity in their arrangement, and are
nearly of equal size throughout their course.
The internal mould is unknown.
Stratigraphical position.—A specimen unusually large but without name as a
species was figured by Morton in his ‘Natural History’ of Northamptonshire.
The figure gives the characteristic features with truthfulness and minuteness, and
is the only notice of it which T have discovered. Our smaller figures represent
the usual size of specimens preserved in the form of external casts upon slabs of
the sandy iron oolite of Northamptonshire. These preserve the more minute features
of the Trigonia with great delicacy; for examples I am indebted to the kindness
of Mr. S. Sharp, of Dallington Hall, Northampton, who has investigated the
geology and palzontology of his district with long-continued perseverance and success.
His collection has the only few Northamptonshire specimens with the tests preserved
which I am acquainted with ; my own cabinet has a single much larger example, but of
less mature growth, from the shelly bed of the Dogger at Blue Wyke, near Robin Hood
Bay, Yorkshire. The coarse ferruginous Oolite of Glaizedale in the same county also
very commonly contains external casts of this Trigonia under circumstances of lithological
character closely resembling the beds in Northamptonshire, and in like manner associated
with Astarte elegans, Sow., A. rhomboidalis, Phil., and other well-known testacea of the
Inferior Oolite. The Glaizedale casts of the Trigonia are much ‘larger than those of
Northamptonshire. It, therefore, appears to be a characteristic shell of the lower portion
of the Inferior Oolite in the midland and northern counties of England.
Affinities. It isallied to 7. compta, from which it is distinguished by having the area
more expanded, by the absence of the few large isolated varices at the posteal extremities
of the coste, by their greater upward posteal curvature, and by their anteal undulation.
From 7. Phillipsi it is separated by the great breadth of the area with its distantly
arranged transverse costell, together with the undulation and occasional angularity in
the curvature of the rows of coste.
T. Sharpiana has also considerable affinities with a still smaller species, viz. the 7.
pulchella, of Agassiz (‘ Trig.,’ pl. xxv, t. 2, figs. 1—7), from strata, which he assigns to
Upper Lias, at Urweilar and Mihlhausen (Haut-Rhin). Subsequently Quenstedt
figured this little species in his ‘ Handbuche der Petrefacten ’ (tab. 43, fig. 14), and assigned
it to the lowest zone of the Inferior Oolite. Compared with the British species all these
forms are more oblong or sub-quadrate; their umbones are therefore more anterior, and
are scarcely raised above the superior border. In 7 Sharpiana the wmbones are much
raised, and have so much prominence that the general figure is ovately trigonal; the
number of tuberculated coste are variable, and differ much in their mesial angularity or
undulation, but they are always more numerous, and never assume the broken and irre-
UNDULAT&. 81
gular aspect exhibited in all the specimens figured by Agassiz. ‘The figures of
Quenstedt have the ornamentation approximating more nearly to our species, but the
general figure coincides with the shell of Agassiz, and cannot be identified with 7:
Sharpiana. Various specimens from Normandy in the British Museum from the Inferior
Oolite at St. Vigor and Montiers have an absolute specific identity with the British
examples, and serve materially to establish their distinctness from 7. pulchella.

Shell convex, ovately trigonal, or sub-quadrate; umbones elevated, obtuse, sub-
mesial, scarcely recurved; anterior side produced, its border, together with the lower
border, curved elliptically. Escutcheon narrow, short, and depressed ; only slightly more
lengthened than the posterior border of the area, with which it forms an obtuse angle.
Area wide, flattened, divided by an oblique mesial furrow, and bounded by two incon-
spicuous, knotted, small carinee; the knots upon the inner carina assume the form of
small varices, which are occasionally somewhat extended upon the escutcheon ; the inter-
carinal space is occupied by small, irregular, transverse plications, which are sometimes
only faintly traced. The other portion of the shell has a numerous series (21—22) of
smooth, narrow, horizontal, or somewhat concentrically curved coste, which near to the
lower border become less elevated, and have also less regularity ; a large specimen of the
left valve has the last-formed two or three costz more or less broken posteally ; other
specimens have their last-formed four or five cost attenuated posteally, aud bent slightly
upwards with some irregularity to the marginal carina.
Trigonta exigua was founded upon very perfect examples of the young shell of the
present species, obtained with numerous other dwarfed and immature testacea in the
shelly freestone of Leckhampton Hill, near Cheltenham. In this young condition the first-
formed costz, to the number of thirteen or fourteen, are united almost uninterruptedly to
the knotted elevations which constitute the marginal carina; they then pass across
the area in the form of smaller costellz, each of which terminates at the slight nodosities
which form the inner carina; occasionally an intercalated costella is formed upon the
area, which also possesses only slight indications of a median furrow; the uniformity,
close arrangement, elevation, and acute edges of these first-formed costz are remarkable,
and differ greatly from the condition of specimens of more-developed growth, obtained in
a bed of hard cream-coloured limestone (coralline mud), in which specimens have been
cleared with great difficulty with the help of cutting instruments. Due allowance being

made for these adverse circumstances, it will readily be understood that the specific
identity of the two forms, apparently dissimilar, was not at first discovered, and that they
were believed to represent different species; the cream-coloured rock, which also abounds
with the genus Werinea in the vicinity of Stroud and Nailsworth, is little used for
economical purposes, and the Trigonia therefore has very rarely been obtained.
Trigonia costatula appears to occupy in its sectional characters a position between the
costate and the wndulate, or to connect these groups, but as the area and escutcheon
agree with those parts of the wduate, and are altogether distinct from the costate, I
have preferred to place it with the former section, notwithstanding the presence of a series
of plain horizontal costae upon the other portion of the shell.
Specimens of this rare species are in the Museum of the Royal School of Mines ;
in the Woodwardian Museum, Cambridge; also in the collections of Dr. Wright,
Cheltenham ; Mr. Witchell, Stroud; Rev. P. B. Brodie, Rowington, near Warwick ; and
in my own cabinet ; all from the middle portion of the Inferior Oolite in the vicinity of
Cheltenham and of Stroud.
Triconia Joasst, Lycett, sp.nov. Pl. XX, figs. 2, 3, 4.
Shell ovately oblong, convex ; umbones placed within the anterior third of the valves,
moderately elevated; anterior side short, curved elliptically with the lower border ;
posterior side much produced and somewhat depressed, pointed at the extremity of the
marginal carina. Area of considerable breadth, flattened, rugosely plicated transversely.
Escutcheon lengthened, narrow and flattened; marginal carina slightly elevated, trans-
versely knotted. The other portion of the surface has the rows of cost very
numerous, each row having a double undulation resembling in figure the radii upon the
Ammonites of the group of Fulciferi, but with less regularity. The nodes in the rows
are usually small, with much inequality in size and variability in figure, but for the most
part they are either rounded or ovate; anteally they become much attenuated or cord-
like ; they are curved upwards obliquely from the anterior border, and at the end of
about two fifths of their course form a sudden flexure directed obliquely downwards and
become more distinctly nodulous. The nodes are irregular in the rows, and about the
middle of the valve some of the anteal rows terminate; the remainder of the rows form
another undulation, curving upwards to the marginal carina at a considerable angle,
becoming more ridge-like and attenuated at their extremities. The nodes upon the
middle portion of the valve are commonly confused, unequal in size, and irregular in
figure ; but this does not appear to be an invariable feature, as a specimen in the collec-
tion of Mr. Grant, of Lossimouth, has the rows of nodes regularly falciform and nearly
equal. This specimen, although imperfect, shows that the rows near to the umbones
UNDULATA. 83
become simply transverse and lose the falciform aspect. The materials upon which the
foregoing description is founded are all more or less imperfect, but in the aggregate they
exemplify nearly the whole of the more important features. The specimen with the
ornamentation preserved over the greater part of the costated surface is in two portions,
exhibiting only a moiety of the marginal carina, and is destitute of the area. ‘The
internal mould gives the general outline and proportions ; the large striated hinge teeth,
the muscular scars, and pallial lines ; fortunately also, owing to the thinness of the test,
the exterior ornamentation is obscurely visible, and even the posteal portion of
the area has delicate, faintly-marked, transverse striations. The mould and also the
specimen belonging to Mr. Grant have the few last-formed posteal portions of the coste
almost effaced, a condition which appears to be a concomitant of the last stage of growth.
The specimen figured with the surface ‘preserved retains its costa at that portion of the
valve.
The third specimen, which exhibits the greater portion of the area, is slightly defective
near to the pallial border, and also at the apex; it is a gutta-percha pressing taken from
a well-preserved external cast, kindly forwarded by the Rev. Mr. Joass; the compact
siliceous rock has retained the impression of the surface of the shell with minuteness and
delicacy. In the aggregate the examples figured upon our Plate appear sufficiently to
elucidate the species.
Afinities. No one of the British Undulata presents any near approximation to 7. Joassi ;
there is, however, one foreign Zrzgonia from the Oxford Clay of Gundershofen, which
might possibly be mistaken for it, the Lyrodon htteratum of Goldfuss ( Petref.,’ vol. u,
p. 200, tab. 136, fig. 5 4) ; the largest figure is the nearest ally ; excluding other testacea
upon the same plate, also named /itteratum, which belong to two other species; the
broken specimen pertains to the Inferior Oolite, the other to the Neocomian formation.
Limiting the Ziéteratum of Goldfuss in this manner, it will be found to have the area
larger than in our species, which is also without the row of distinct rounded tubercles
upon the marginal carina; upon the other portion of the valve the species of Gunders-
hofen possesses in its ornamentation a certain amount of resemblance to 7. Joass?,
differing from the latter in the posteal portions of the costa, which are larger and for the
most part almost perpendicular and disunited from the other portions; the anteal coste
are also larger and less numerous. For examples of this fine species of the Undulate I
am indebted to the kindness of Mr. J. W. Judd, who obtained them at Brora, in the far
north of Scotland, during long and persevering researches in the Jurassic rocks of that
little-known region. The imperfect specimen in two portions, but having the surface
preserved, is from plaster casts of originals in the British Museum, obtained by Mr.
Charles Peach in the Brora region. The species is dedicated to the Rev. J. M. Joass, of
Golspie, at the suggestion of Mr. Judd, as a fitting recognition of his own obligations to
that gentleman, for untiring efforts in his assistance, during the survey of a region
heretofore but little explored by geologists.

The area is narrow, slightly convex, having a mesial oblique furrow ; there are no distinct
bounding carine, but near to the umbo the area forms a distinct angle with the more
depressed ante-carinal space. The escutcheon is of moderate breadth, smooth and
depressed. ‘The ante-carinal space is much depressed near to the umbo ; downwards it
becomes more flattened and widens regularly towards the lower border, where its breadth
exceeds that of the area. The entire valve in the adult state is divided into four or more
zones by large, deeply-indented, transverse sulcations which are always conspicuous ; they
curve upwards at their extremities in accordance with the lines of growth. The costated
portion occupies more than half the valve; the costz in their prominence, number, and
general aspects possess so much variability that, without the possession of numerous
connecting specimens, other species may possibly be united with it; whenever the coste
are distinct upon the first or umbonal zone they are moderately numerous, plain, and
oblique; upon the next and the succeeding zones they have greater curvature; anteally
the extremities of the coste in each zone curve upwards, external to the
extremities of the costz in the preceding zones, so that anteally the costa appear to be
unsymmetrical ; upon the last zone the coste become smaller and less distinct, or are
confused irregularly with the lines of growth. 7 gibbosa may be arranged under three
varieties as follows :
Var, a,—Figure, Unio like or produced posteally ; longitudinal sulcations large and deep,
irregular and unequal near the pallial border; ante-carinal space narrow
and not well defined, excepting near the apex; surface generally destitute
of ornamentation, occasionally with some indications of coste. Plate XVIII,
figs. 5, 6.
Var. 6—Coste prominent and numerous, covering the greater portion of the valve;
narrow, ridge-like, small, and plain anteally, forming large, oblong, or sub-
ovate nodes posteally ; ante-carinal space much larger and more defined than
in Var. a; the area also more distinctly marked, sometimes with slightly
knotted elevations at the positions of the marginal and inner carine.
Longitudinal sulcations distinct, but smaller than in Var. a. Plate XVIII,
figs. 1, 2,2a,4; Plate XIX, fig. 2.
Var. c.—Ante-carinal space very large and depressed; sulcations only slightly defined ;
rows of costz very numerous and irregular, with small, crowded, but
prominent nodes, producing a roughened surface ; area narrow, strongly
defined, transversely coarsely plicated, its bounding carinz knotted ane
plicated posteally. Plate XXI, fig. 1.
The figures in Sowerby’s ‘ Mineral Conchology’ represent the varieties a and 6.

86 BRITISH FOSSIL TRIGONIZ.
7. gibbosa in the work of De Loriol and Pellat is exemplified only by the
variety a.
The 7. gibbosa of Seebach (‘ Der Hannoversche Jura,’ tab. 2, fig. 6 a, 6), from the
Pterocera Beds of Tongesberge (a lower zone of the Jura formation), is evidently a
distinct species characterised by a more trigonal form; by the absence of the large
longitudinal sulcations and of the wide ante-carinal space, the costz are also different.
Stratigraphical postion and Localities. In Britain 7. gibbosa is the most well-known
Trigonia of the Portland Oolite, and is limited to that rock and the subjacent sands ; at
Chilmark and at Tisbury all its varieties are exemplified throughout beds, the entire
thickness of which is not less than sixty feet. Other reputed localities are the Isle of
Portland, Devizes, Brill, Hartwell, and Swindon, but the examination of a multitude of
examples of the Gludre from those places demonstrate that Z’ Dasmoniana is their
prevailing Trigonia.
Chicksgrove Quarry, Tisbury, has disunited valves of 7. giddosa in great profusion,
sometimes covering large slabs of the bed called Zroughstone, to the exclusion of all other
testacea. The Portland formation in Britain is well characterised by the presence of its
Trigonia, all of which appear to be special to it; those of the oolites and sands are
T. Damoniana, T. Manseli, T. Micheloti, T. tenuitexta, T. muricata, T. incurva, and T.
Carrei ; those of the lower or Kimmeridge Clay are 7. Voltzii, T. Juddiana, T. Pellati,
T. Woodwardi, also another lengthened form, somewhat doubtful, which I have provision-
ally placed as a variety of 7. cxcurva (Pl. IX, fig. 2). }
In the vicinity of Boulogne 7. gidéosa is also an abundant species at numerous
localities, and in various beds of the upper portion of the Portland Formation. For
ample details the reader is referred to the important memoirs by M. Hébert and by
De Loriol and Pellat above cited.
Triconia Mansext, Lycett, sp. nov. Pl. XIX, figs. 3, 4, 4 a, 6.
Shell subovate or ovately oblong, inflated mesially, compressed near to the pallial
border ; umbones antero-mesial, prominent, large, and obtuse, much incurved and nearly
erect; anterior and lower borders curved elliptically ; hinge-border rather convex, curved
gently with the posteal extremity of the area and terminating in an extremity which is
somewhat produced and pointed. Escutcheon smooth and concave, but having its upper
border somewhat raised. Area narrow, convex, and raised, divided conspicuously by a
deep mesial furrow, which has bordering upon it, immediately upon either side, a slightly
defined row of small tubercles, or in other specimens they are evanescent ; there is also a
well-defined line of small tubercles or varices which forms an inner carina ; these varices
are extended somewhat upon the escutcheon. The position of the marginal carina is
GLABRA. 87
indicated near to the umbones by a well-marked obtuse ridge, but this soon disappears
with advance of growth, and the carina is then represented only by the rounded elevation
which the border of the area forms, adjoming to the wide and very depressed smooth or
ante-carinal space ; the plications of growth are well defined over the whole of the area.
The other portion of the surface has a very numerous and well-marked series of obliquely
directed tuberculated costz ; upon the umbones the coste are different ; they there form
a densely-arranged minute or linear series which pass horizontally across the whole of
the valve uninterruptedly; they are plain and the breadth of the series does not exceed
three lines (this feature, unfortunately, is not depicted upon our figures 4 a and 4 4); the
coste then change abruptly to oblique tuberculated rows which continue with only slight
irregularity even to the lower border; the coste (about twenty-four in number) are
narrow, Closely arranged, curved, and somewhat attenuated near to the pallial border ;
they pass upwards in a manner sometimes somewhat waved and meet the depressed
ante-carinal space at a considerable angle, the tubercles in the rows (about twenty) are
rounded or ovate and closely arranged, but upon the anteal attenuated portions of the
costz they are indistinct or cord-like; the costal terminations, posteally, are abrupt but
do not form a regular line, so that the anteal boundary of the ante-carinal space is
irregular. The arrangement of the rows is so close that it is sometimes difficult to
discover the real direction of the lines of tubercles; in such instances the attenuated
pallial extremities of the rows of costz afford the real guide. The ante-carinal space is
less wide than in 7. Micheloti and T. gibbosa, but it is always conspicuously depressed
longitudinally, which imparts an additional apparent convexity to the area. The valve
has three transverse sulcations or arrests of growth; these are not very conspicuous and
do not appear materially to have interfered with the direction of the rows of costa which
pass across them.
This pretty species constitutes one of the most clearly defined examples of the Glabrae,
the direction and arrangements of the rows of tubercles immediately suffice to determine
the species; perhaps it may be the shell of which a fragment of the anteal side was
figured by Agassiz, ‘ Trigonies,’ tab. 6, fig. 11, under the name of 7! picta, from the White
Coral Crag of Hoggerwald (Canton of Soleure), the general direction of the lines of
tubercles and their attenuation towards the border agree with 7 Manseli, but in the
absence of the greater and more important portion of the valve I prefer only to allude to
their possible specific identity.
Upon the whole there is much variability in the characters of the tuberculated costz ;
occasionally the anteal portions of the umbonal rows are somewhat angulated or are
curved concentrically, or the anteal portions of the latter-formed series have an occasional
intercalated costa. The varying size of the tubercles in different specimens, and their
more close or distant arrangement in the rows, impart much variability to the aspect
of the species, but in every instance the tubercles are rounded and have much
prominence.
88 BRITISH FOSSIL TRIGONIA.
The size is usually smaller than 7! Damoniana.
Dimensions of a specimen rather smaller than usual :
Length 22 lines, height 18 lines, diameter through the united valves 143 lines.
The name is intended as a slight recognition of most welcome assistance rendered to
the author by the loan of some interesting Zrigonie from the Kimmeridge Clay of the
Cliffs of Dorsetshire, one of the results of extensive explorations made by J. C. Mansel-
Pleydell, Esq., of Longthorns, near Blandford, Dorset, upon his property in the
Kimmeridge Clay, a formation which has been but little exposed in England.
Stratigraphical position and Localities—T. Manseli has occurred somewhat rarely in
the Limestone of the Isle of Portland and Tisbury. Specimens are in the Museum of
Practical Geology, Jermyn Street ; in the collection of Dr. Wright, of Cheltenham ; in
the collection of Mr. Cunnington, of Devizes ; also in my own cabinet.

Shell sub-ovate, lengthened obliquely, convex, umbones large, erect, very prominent
and somewhat pointed, much incurved and rendered bipartite by the narrow deep
sulcation produced by the apical termination of the ante-carinal space; borders of the
valves elliptically rounded, excepting the hinge-border, which is straight and lengthened,
sloping obliquely ; the anterior face of the valves has also a large, rounded, depressed
space or lunule, which gives a slightly truncated aspect to that portion when viewed
laterally. The escutcheon is depressed, cordiform, and strongly marked by the lines of
growth ; the area is narrow, slightly elevated or convex, traversed transversely by irre-
gular folds of growth; it has a well-marked mesial furrow, and is bounded at its upper
or umbonal portion by two rows of minute, sparsely-arranged tubercles ; some specimens
have also a median line of minute tubercles bordering upon the groove; more frequently
these three lines of carinal tubercles cannot be traced or only partially so even upon well-
preserved specimens. The anti-carinal space or sulcation is narrow, smooth, and only
slightly depressed, excepting near to the umbones, where it forms a deep sulcation; more
frequently in adult forms its slight depression is the only feature which separates it from the
area. ‘The costated portion is divided into three or four zones by as many elliptical horizontal
furrows ; these are much less conspicuous than in 7. gibdosa ; like to that species the
GLABRA. | 89
direction of the rows of costa are not conformable with the sulcations; they are more
horizontal, thus rendering their aspect rather excentric; upon the anterior face of the
shell they are entire, much attenuated, and form a slight angle or undulation ; the costa
upon the umbo form a very numerous, plain, minute, closely-arranged, horizontal series,
which pass also across the ante-carinal sulcation and area with slightly diminished
prominence ; subsequently the rows have their~ middle and posteal portions closely
arranged and very unequal in size; they are usually slightly knotted or nodose, becoming
larger posteally, and terminate abruptly at the smooth ante-carinal space, but occasionally
over the lowest zone they.are confusedly crowded, and minute or even continued across
the ante-carinal space. Our example, Pl. XVIII, fig. 3, represents a well-marked
variety, with few prominent coste, each of which has about seven, large, widely separated
tubercles ; a specimen of more advanced growth has the last zone crowded with minute
tubercles, which afford a remarkable contrast to the other rows of coste, but the umbones
have their costz plain, minute, and dense, as in the typical form.
Compared with Z: gidbosa the general figure differs considerably. It is shorter
transversely, or more obliquely lengthened or ovate ; the concentric sulcations are smaller,
the umbones are more elevated, the cost are smaller, more numerous, and more minutely
nodose ; the very numerous linear series which occupies the first zone of the shell and
passes across the whole of the valves transversely is also another remarkable and
distinctive feature. As there is much variability in the obliquity of the valves, measure-
ments of proportions would have but little utility.
The first notice of 7. Damoniana as distinguished from 7. gidéosa occurs in a thin
quarto volume published by Miss Etherelda Benett, of Warminster, in the year 1831 ;
intended as an illustrated catalogue of organic remains in the County of Wilts, it is
therein mentioned as a distinct variety of 7. gibdosa; the drawing is characteristic and
satisfactory, but the extreme scarceness of the work in question, together perhaps with
some supineness or absence of sufficient investigation by British paleontologists, rendered
it altogether neglected as a species.
Stratigraphical position and Localities. T. Damoniana is an abundant fossil at
several localities, more especially in the white limestone of the Isle of Portland ; at Brill,
Bucks, and at Swindon, at the latter place the reddish ferruginous sandy beds at
Dayhouse Farm have produced very numerous separate valves of 7. Damoniana, having
the ornamentation for the most part very well preserved ; the specimens are of every
stage of growth, but are frequently distorted by vertical pressure ; they are spread out
laterally and slightly flattened; specimens are in the Museum of Practical Geology and
in the collection of Mr. Cunnington, of Devizes. Internal moulds are abundant at
Swindon. They are shorter and more oblique than those of 7. gibdosa.
A very large majority of examples of 7. Damoniana obtained in the Isle of Portland
coincide with the foregoing description ; rarely, however, certain features become promi-
nent, indicative of an additional variety, characterised by the great breadth of the smooth
90 BRITISH FOSSIL TRIGONLA.
ante-carinal space. Apparently this is the form figured by De Loriol and Pellat for the
T. variegata of Credner (‘ Monog. de la Portland. de Boulogne,’ 1868, pl. 7, figs. 6, 7) ;
the latter species, which is from the Kimmeridge strata of Fritzow, has large oblong nodes
upon the posteal portions of the costa ; these are much fewer, and the ante-carinal space
is much smaller than in our variety. In the expectation that examples of 7. variegata
might occur in the Portland formation of England I have attentively examined a multi-
tude of examples of the Glabre from its beds, but have failed to ascertain its presence ;
perhaps, considering the general very limited stratigraphical range of the Zrigonia, we
should scarcely expect to discover one of its Kimmeridge Clay species in the Portland
Oolite; our British examples from the upper and lower stages of the formation indicate
this distinctness very conclusively. The figures in the little work of Credner (‘ Ueber die
Gliederung der Obern Juraformation und der Wealden Bildung in Nordwestlichen
Deutschland, &.,’ Prag, 1863) are, upon the whole, coarsely engraved, and the drawings
of the Zrzgonie@ are apparently not very reliable for correctness ; in them we observe only
a remote resemblance to the two figures of 7. variegata given by De Loriol and Pellat from
Boulogne.
For the most part the size and general aspect of the ante-carinal space affords a good
distinctive feature for the G/adre, and aids materially in the separation of its species, but
in the present, as in some other instances, it assumes an amount of variability indicative
of its subordination to some other specific characters. Other variable examples of this
feature are seen in the smooth or typical form of 7. gidéosa, in which the space is smaller
and less distinct than in the other varieties ; the same remark will also apply to certain
examples of 7. Juddiana and of T. irregularis in the Clavellate and to T. angulata in the
Undulate ; but it is only in the Glabre that this feature, from its constancy and promi-
nence, becomes of sectional importance.
Triconia TENUITEXTA, Lycett, sp. nov. Plate XX, figs. 1, la.
Shell with the general outline of 7 Damoniana, but with less convexity ; the most
striking peculiarity is afforded by the ante-carinal space, which is nearly absent ; there is
only a narrow slight depression indicating its position ; the knotted coste upon the side
of the valve are remarkable for their minuteness, close arrangement, and irregularity or
undulations, so that they appear partially confused ; they are also continued more or less
obscurely even across the ante-carinal space; upon the umbonal portion the minute tu-
bercles with which the coste are crowded, disappear, and they there form avery numerous,
minute, plain, or almost linear series. Upon the specimen figured the escutcheon has a
few regular oblique plications; as this feature is one altogether foreign to the Glabre, and
occurs only in the Quadrate, the Scabre, and the Costate, its occurrence in the present
instance may be regarded as only an abnormal or individual peculiarity.
GLABRA. 91
Afinities. Compared with the allied form, 7. Damoniana, the partial disappearance of
the ante-carinal space, the smaller, much more numerous and crowded, meandering cost,
serve sufficiently to distinguish it. These characters also separate it from other Zrigonie
of the same section.
The magnified figure 1 @ represents the umbonal costz constituting a very numerous,
minute series, directed horizontally, without interruption, across both the ante-carinal
space and the area.
Stratigraphical position. ‘The specimen figured is from the limestone of the Isle of
Portland. A series of specimens more or less imperfect, kindly forwarded to me by Mr.
Cunnington, proves that the species also occurs in the Portland Oolite at Devizes, Crook-
wood, and Tisbury.
Triconia Brrsieyana, Lycett, sp. nov. Plate XVII, figs. 2, 3, 4.
Shell ovately oblong, depressed, transverse, thin; umbones antero-mesial, small,
depressed, only slightly raised above the superior border; anterior side moderately
produced; its border rounded; lower border lengthened and curved eelliptically, its
posteal extremity pointed; superior border moderately lengthened, nearly horizontal,
curved downwards posteally. Each valve is divided into two unequal portions by a plain
oblique angle. The escutcheon is of moderate breadth, flattened, but somewhat concave,
traversed by very numerous, rounded, regular, depressed, delicate costella, which pass
across its surface horizontally, and are slightly indented transversely by the lines of
growth ; a few of the costellz are bifurcated near to the superior border. There is no
marginal carina, but a distinct oblique divisional angle, such as occurs in a portion of the
Scabre ; to this latter group it is also allied by the entire absence of an area and by the
ornamentation of the escutcheon, the costella upon which are similar in character or
slightly scabrous. The middle portion of the valve comprising nearly the half of the
whole surface is plain, and its surface is traversed only by the very delicate lines of
growth; it is also without the oblique depression which usually is characteristic of the
Glabre. 'The anteal portion of the valve has numerous delicate, narrow, smooth, small
costae, which are conspicuous at the anteal border; they pass towards the middle of the
valve obliquely downwards; they are slightly waved, and become evanescent ere they
have traversed little more than one fourth of the length of the valve ; towards the umbo
they are scarcely perceptible. The lines of growth are numerous, unequal, and delicate.
The internal mould is well preserved, it exhibits very wide-spreading, coarsely striated,
dental processes, and owing to the general depression of the valves, there is little convexity
excepting near to the umbones; the muscular scars have but little prominence, and there
are no traces of the external ornamentation. I have also succeeded in exposing the
92 BRITISH FOSSIL TRIGONLA.
dental characters in a specimen of the right valve; the processes are narrow, widely
divergent, and have little prominence, corresponding with the internal mould.
Dimensions —Height 20 lines, length 27 lines; diameter through the united valves
6 lines.
My attention was first directed to this remarkable form by my friend Mr. J. W. Judd,
who during his labours in the geological survey of Oxfordshire saw this Trigonia in the
collection of Mr. Beesley, of Banbury, and was much struck with its novel aspect. So
singular is the combination of characters which it presents, that the term paradova might
be fitly applied to it were it not already employed in the genus. Its analogues belong
altogether to the Cretaceous rocks ; the general outline and also the ornamentation of the
anterior side much resembles 7! eacentrica, Park. The posteal angle-and slope with the
characters of that portion of its surface assimilate it to some of the cretaceous Scaére,
and more especially to 7. Hondeana, Coq., 7. tenwisulcata, Duj., and 7. Archiaciana,
D’Orb., and this remarkable combination of sectional characters, so foreign to the Jurassic
species, occurs in a Trigonia from almost the base of the Lower Oolites associated with
a numerous series of Conchifera special to that stage.
Stratigraphical position and Locality. The two fine examples herewith figured, several
others less well preserved, and a few internal moulds, constitute all the materials known ;
Mr. Beesley, to whom we owe their discovery, informs me that the locality of the quarry
is T'ynehill, in the parish of Adderbury, between that place and Great Barford, Oxfordshire.
The rock is coarse, brown, shelly Oolite ; amongst the Inferior Oolite Testacea found with
it are Cricopora straminea, Phil., sp., Serpula socialis, Goldf., Natica Leckhamptonensis, Lye.
Lima bellula, Mor. and Lyc., Nerinea Jonesi, Lyc., &c. The specimens figured are
from the collection of Mr. Beesley; the University Museum, Oxford, also possesses a
specimen.

given, as their publications are dated in the same year. Some consideration is perhaps due to the fact that
the beautiful Monograph by De Loriol and Pellat gives the only figure of the species which has appeared
since the great work of Goldfuss and Munster, in 1836.
